#SepsisAwarenessMonth • all about Post Sepsis Sy #SepsisAwarenessMonth • all about Post Sepsis Syndrome (PSS). We wish there was such thing as being able to move on after sepsis. The truth is... many survivors deal with #PostSepsisSyndrome. PSS includes both physical and psychological symptoms, and the symptoms just depend on the person. Obviously the symptoms will also depend on the treatment! • I personally think that PSS is an important topic to educate about. As a survivor, I didn’t know about PSS. I couldn’t figure out why I was always tired, got sick often, and dealt with mental health problems until I went into therapy for the first time in 2017, EIGHT YEARS after I had sepsis. Surviving sepsis can be very traumatic. It was scary for me; I was 16 years old and knew I was close to dying while it was happening. Recovery from surgery was painful and getting my body back was just as painful. Even these days, I still suffer from a weakened immune system, anxiety + depression, and PTSD-like symptoms (never been officially diagnosed with PTSD). • Swipe through these photos to see the physical and mental symptoms of #PSS. Share with someone who may need to know! ♥️ #Sepsis #SepsisAwareness #SepticShock #Health #Medical #Medicine #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #SepsisSurvivor #PostSepsisSyndromeAwareness #FacesOfSepsis
Feeling quite refreshed after ✌🏼 whole days o Feeling quite refreshed after ✌🏼 whole days off! 🤣 • I’ve been fairly silent on all fronts lately- social media, blog, and podcast. • The truth is that... I’m planning to revamp just about everything. I am still “into” fitness and nutrition (and still training, of course), but I am growing as a creator and a writer. I’m excited for the future of my online space. • More about what The Fit Writer will become in the upcoming months 🌿🌊 #Blogger #BloggersOfInstagram #Writer #PersonalTrainer #Excited #Inspired
#SepsisAwarenessMonth • I didn’t know what sep #SepsisAwarenessMonth • I didn’t know what sepsis was until I got it and almost died from it. About a year after my battle with it, we learned that my grandma’s cause of death was listed as sepsis. She was admitted to the hospital with a UTI. She was already in poor health and because the rehabilitation home she was in didn’t act quick enough, her body turned against her and started attacking itself. Early. Detection. Is. Key. • #Sepsis #SepsisSurvivor #SepticShock #SepticShockSurvivor #PostSepsisSyndrome #SepsisAwareness #FacesOfSepsis
Taking it way back. Getting a little philosophical Taking it way back. Getting a little philosophical in this post, too (I am a 5w4, after all!) • I find it fascinating that I left for BMT on September 11, 2012. The anniversary of 9/11. Also, Benghazi would happen and I would read about it 24 hours later, on a piece of paper taped to the dayroom wall. • There’s no doubt about it: September 11, 2001 is a big reason why I enlisted. If it had never happened, I don’t think I would have had family members who served and therefore encourage me to. I knew I was going to serve in the military since I was in the seventh grade. • I got the call that I was “shipping out” in July of 2012. I actually tried to change it, because I was already signed up for college for that semester. • Obviously it wasn’t changed; and that’s okay. I can’t think of a better way to honor the sacrifices made that day than to have started my own military career. #WomenInTheMilitary #ImJustAWeekendWarriorThough🤣 #TheDreadedBMTHaircut
