Oh, hey, I was there right about a year ago. With the scary major staph infection + other issues, and the whole thing about "if you had waited two more days you'd be dead." Yep. Portland tried to kill me.

That three-week hospital stay has changed my life. I didn't take diabetes seriously before but knowing that it hindered my healing and helped the infection to the point of near death, I'll take it seriously now.

I didn't realize how much I had to live for until my doctor told me that.

I'm glad the both of us beat it and are here today.

Thank you! I feel better being home than I have in the three weeks I was in the hospital. There's just something about being home, you know?

Thank you, again.
