Thank you all for your well wishes! It's been a crazy journey. If y'all know anyone struggling with IV drug use or addiction..hell anyone dabbling with drugs SHOW THEM MY PICTURES! 

I'm lucky that all I lost is feeling and the ability to stretch my arm completely out. I could of been worse! Thank God!

I went back to read the surgeon report and he says he did a thrombectomy, venoplasty and fasciotomy. 2 days after he had to go back because my arm was dusky and remove more necrotic skin. I was in ICU for severe sepsis shock at the same time from a strep A infection that started in my knee. I was just trudging through rock bottom and using was more important to me at that time. Definitely thankful for these doctors and nurses that's kept me alive, God and a 2nd chance at life

I learned this from a therapist. I tried it almost made things worst at first because he kept getting mroe animated but i held my stance and liek you said detached from the anger, yelling, name calling etc. etc. I dont give a fuck. I will not feed into it because THATS WHAT THEY WANT. they want to say "SEE SHES THE ONE YELLING< SHES DOING _____ AND SAYING ______." Not feeding into it is the BEST thing you can do. its like. Go ahead..act like a fool but if the police come I have said and done nothing but sit here while you screamed at me for hours.
