I was very ill, had a fever, didn't eat anymore, couldn't stand on my feet and hallucinated. When they brought me to the hospital they found the cause very fast. Luckely, 'cause it was already in a bad stage. They put me in a coma because i would be in too much pain. They cut my left and right leg open, my right hip and my right arm. My lungs were very bad infected too but as a miracle it healed. There was only 0,1% chance to survive. I made it . But it was a hard recouvery. I only could move my left arm. I was 3 months in a coma so all my muscles that remain were stif. My arm and my left leg fully recouvered but my right leg was a mess. A lot of muscle and bone had been so infected that they or dissapeared or were useless. Nowadays I have a new knee. But i still can't bend more than 95°. My achilles muscle is dissapeared so I can't bend my foot to the right and can't stand on my tiptoes. But I survived and im proud of it! I'm very sorry to hear about Justin. It is indeed a disease that have to be in 'in the spotlights'. I'm kind of searching for people who suffered to it toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211323220282490702.post-34114798857477491152012-03-01T15:55:20.781-06:002012-03-01T15:55:20.781-06:00My son is 18 years old and was diagnosed with this...My son is 18 years old and was diagnosed with this disease last Wed in Harrisburg PA. <br />We almost lost himm. Luckily they tested for this bacteria and had already put him on Clindimycin and other heavy duty antibiotics. He had surgery 3 days ago to release the infection and will come home with a pic line & antibiotics today. He also got the clot in his juggler vein. (Don't know if I spelled any of this right!) Anyway, I would love to get involved in spreading the word and raising money, and especially follow cases in PA.trey's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105814411061513795noreply@blogger.com
