Sepsis

My health is something I have always taken for granted but lately I am getting nervous.  Last week found me in the hospital overnight with a 103 fever and an infection, borderline sepsis. I know that sepsis can be deadly but as I read up on sepsis I realize how easy it is to ignore.  First thought is, I am so tired, I will rest.  Then there is that feverish, clammy feeling.  It must be due to the hot weather, I think.  Next came some dizziness, with body aches.  Time to call my best friend, Sara and complain.  It is wonderful to have a best friend.  We are like psychiatrists figuring out life's problems.  So now I have the advice I don't want to hear, "Time to call the doctor." Ok, maybe I will.
