"Has anyone experienced this? I had sepsis in the new year and ended up in hospital for a couple of weeks. I had an op and was sent home under the care of a virtual ward. Lots of tech which measures oxygen, heart rate and temperature and you submit blood pressure and blood glucose readings about twice a day. They ring regularly and visit twice a week. I think it’s brilliant and it has freed up a hospital bed and allowed me to heal up at home. I wondered has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you find it? " Sounds like a great idea. Hope you are better now. | |||

"Was you bed bound or able to move around?" I was bedbound in intensive care for about three days but after that I was slowly up and about. | |||

Hope you are better now. " Yeah thanks I am much better now. I had a tiny cyst on the back of my thigh and then I got a fever and thought Covid even though I’ve had my boosters but I did a lateral flow test which was negative but I put off getting the cyst, which had suddenly grown bigger, looked at because I thought the fever meant they would turn me away. A phone call with my doctor and a trip to see a paramedic at the surgery confirmed sepsis but by then I was really poorly. All I can say is if you have a lump or a wound and with it develop nausea and a fever, get it checked out! You can be seen in isolation if they suspect Covid and a doctor at the hospital said that a dangerous false narrative is developing around fever. It isn’t always due to Covid of course but people fear that a doctor won’t see them if they have a high temperature. I’ve been lucky and caught it just in time and I can’t thank the NHS enough. They are short staffed and underfunded but they are incredible human beings and they saved my bacon. | |||

"Sepsis is scary! So glad you recovered from it and it’s amazing to hear about the virtual ward. Having previously worked for a medical company I’m always pleased to hear good outcomes like yours x" Yeah it is scary and I had a wound that was 10cm long and 5cm deep but thanks to a vacuum sealed dressing system it will take about 8 weeks to heal completely which is about half the usual time. I’m attached to a pump all the time though so I’m not up to no good just now that’s for sure. | |||

Thanks for highlighting sepsis, so many people are still unaware you can get it so easily. You are a strong, brave person and I’m sure you’ll be back to no good in no time x | |||
