Close Chronic Pain
2002 surgical mistake (perorated bowel 3x) led to serious sepsis/organs crushed. In coma w/ numerous surgeries. Cutting edge pharmaceuticals & interventions w/ new medical team meant that I survived (1st adult to). I've had near death experiences and recall night terrors. Chronic pain, PTSD, lungs at 50%, no abdominal muscle structure. Drs tell me I'm too much of a risk & can't help me. The anger is almost as high as daily pain level (9 out of 10)

Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
2002 surgical mistake (perorated bowel 3x) led to serious sepsis/organs crushed. In coma w/ numerous surgeries. Cutting edge pharmaceuticals & interventions w/ new medical team meant that I survived (1st adult to). I've had near death experiences and recall night terrors. Chronic pain, PTSD, lungs at 50%, no abdominal muscle structure. No one knows how/when things may become more difficult. I don’t have anyone that understands my experience(s) & therapy is no help.
