This week has been a week of frustrations. I was battling with school and gaining approval for my internship. My POTS has been extremely symptomatic since my PICC line came out and had gotten to the point where I was not functional for a couple days. The first day of my journey on this blog…

This last week has been stressful. I have been dealing with trying to get approval for my internship which has been a huge concern. My health has been crazy this week as well, which is stressing me out too. Of course its like a cycle and stress only makes it worse! I found out I…

This last week was a week of decisions.  First, I finished my antibiotics so I had to decide whether or not to have my PICC line taken out of my arm and if so, when.  Turns out that since I am still having on and off again fevers, my PICC line may have a colony of bacteria…

Recovery is truly a process. Life is actually a process. Learning is a process. I am still trying to recover from the sepsis and now being tested to see if the infection is still present in my body since I am still having symptoms. I am also being tested for a myriad of other health…
