Back at the end of March I got deathly ill Rick my fellow couldn't,t get a response from me. By the time they got me to the hospital I was.almost gone . My kidneys. And liver were shutting down. I Don,t remember any of that I hard pneumonia,bladder infection,and sepsis when you get sepsis you usually Don,t make it.I was there eleven days I Don,t ever want that to happen again. Apparently sepsis is easier to get than I thought. Well I made it and I,m CANCER FREE. About three weeks ago my blood pressure kept dropping on Me. Rick came home and I put my head on his shoulder and promptly passed out Rick went down with me he dine,t get hurt he tried to keep me from falling didn't,t work,I got a big goose egg on my head I have to keep an eye on my blood pressure Don,t know what's causing it to drop do any of you have a problem. with there blood pressure. I go back to heart Dr he,s having my arterys checked see if that caused it. That's enough about me. Thanks for reading my post it's good to be able to talk about it. Have a good weekend . susiejo1948

I remember when you were so very ill! I'm glad you survived the sepsis, recovery must have taken a while. Best hopes that your doctor figures out how to stabilize your blood pressure.
