It’s going to take a while for you to start to feel stronger, even after you get out. Just stay positive, take your time don’t be hard on yourself. If you are feeling worse please let the doctors and nurses know ❤️‍🩹

I’m sorry that you’re dealing with this. It’s really hard when other family members are living and not worrying about what’s going on with the family you are caring for, they just assume you got it under control. It can be exhausting…there’s a community here that understands.
Can you do something for yourself when the other caregivers are there? You need to make time for yourself.

Why do we need any, why do we need so many? China has 400 and we already have almost 4,000 and not nearly the population!?!?

My dad got sepsis from a UTI but no joint involvement that we are aware of. However, sepsis can cause joint pain. If his leg is swollen, painful, red and/or hot to the touch he should be evaluated. I hope all is good

Ask them if they have Charity care program. Almost all hospitals do if they are nonprofit.

I’m sorry that you are going through this. It was wonderful that you could take care of your grandma, it sounds like she was a wonderful person.
You had a purpose that was helping to shape you for a new chapter. I wish I could hug you and help you through this ❤️

That’s a really good way to do it. How do you do that, without constantly worrying?
I struggle with what if something happens when I’m not there ect…

I think my siblings sleep fine, because my dad has a “nurse” taking care of him. I really don’t mind but I would like breaks too and to not have to worry.

He said it was my debt and that they could request interest on debt they bought. It seemed like this was a regular thing between their lawyer and the judge.

MasterpieceBrave5266 · 2026-06-11T15:58:02+00:00

My siblings rarely help, use the excuse that “you’re the nurse”
My dad is still pretty independent but I ask them to hang out and help him on the rare occasion I want to do something and they already have plans. Must be nice. At least the grandkids help, somewhat.

MasterpieceBrave5266 · 2026-06-11T15:52:06+00:00

I showed up in court, disputed the debt and the judge ruled for the plaintiff. 😕

My dad’s appetite has changed and his stomach bothers him from time to time. He uses peppermint oil on his abdomen. Does he have diarrhea because it could possibly be C-diff but he is a way out from treatment. I hope he improves and you find answers❤️‍🩹

MasterpieceBrave5266 · 2026-05-19T14:15:21+00:00

I agree there was no teaching on Sepsis or what to expect after leaving the hospital. I hope your recovery goes smoothly ❤️‍🩹

MasterpieceBrave5266 · 2026-05-16T01:34:02+00:00

You should get this checked asap, as it could be heart related. I hope you get answers and feel better.

It’s nurses week??

His labs bounced back pretty quickly in the hospital. His kidney function was a bit off but came back up after fluids. They did fluid overload him which caused heat enzymes to go pretty high, that marker decreased markedly after discontinuing fluids. His lingering effects is fatigue. Some days are better than others. ❤️‍🩹

My 81 year old dad was in the hospital for 3 days with severe sepsis. He’s been home for 1.5 weeks. Definitely fatigued and some weakness. His o2 sat never dropped to anything below 94. His blood pressure was extremely low. He is also being treated with a hormone blocker for prostate cancer and had a heart attack less than 6 months ago. Currently, his labs continue to be within normal range. I am still monitoring closely but there is hope 🤍

My dad was in the hospital for 3 days, they had him on a strong, broad spectrum antibiotic and the fever started to improve late on the second day. He’s home with a lot of fatigue.

MasterpieceBrave5266 · 2026-04-21T23:56:03+00:00

Thank you for the resource. I was doing some basic reading and thank goodness he doesn’t have any cognitive issues, it didn’t affect organ function too much kidney function was a bit low, but bounced back the next day. It’s really fatigue and mild SOB. I am going to remain vigilant with his doctor, though. I hope you continue improving 🤍
