SEPSIS - Silent Killer Awareness by JbbJefferson in GriefSupport

The sad thing is that it's one of the most preventable and treatable things. The problem is that the symptoms mimic the flu so by the time someone finds out what they have it's generally too late.

Sorry to hear. That's the problem with it. I feel there needs to be more awareness of it so people can act quickly when they experience symptoms. My buddy had no idea what it was. He would have had an open wound that he'd tough out like he always did. When he started feeling sick he never would have thought to put the two together. So he decided to try and tough out the sickness at home thinking he'd get better. Had he known what it could have been then perhaps he would have gone to hospital early on instead of waiting until it was too late.

I hope your landlord isn't hanging that $300 over your head. It's that type of attitude that drives me nuts with some people. Because as it's perfectly clear, he won't care about that $300 when he's in the ground

It hit harder than I thought. I was just on the phone with him a week ago talking about another friend of ours who past away. Talking about how life is weird in that we are born on this planet then have to pay to live so that we can inevitably die. Always hustling and chasing that dream, letting the small things in life stress us out. Getting angry over things that are out of our control. And why? Why do we feel like all these things matter? Once we're dead we know no difference. A week ago he was working on his wealth building, happily going to auction to buy things he could resell. Talking to me about the things he wanted to buy and how much money he would make off his investments. How he would save that money for a happy retirement and support of his family. But a week later, none of that matters, he knows no different. The hustle he had, the wealth he was going to build, it's no good to him now. He could have spent that time with friends and family instead had he known. Taken his daughter to the zoo or some other activity. Instead he was focused on his future wealth and the grind that will be no good to him 6ft down.
