Indeed, John... but hopefully none of the family will be hospitalised. Although the rate is massive in comparison to April, deaths are low, imo the figures are manipulated. For instance, when I was in with sepsis, I asked if I got Covid while in there, even if I was asymptotic ( which I am) and I died... what would have I died of? Sepsis or Covid.
Answer was Covid and added to statistics.
I’m as sceptical as the next man, still am to be honest. I’m not denying it’s around ( We as a family are proof of that) but it’s the mortality rate I question of deaths with just Covid.
Kin ell dude.. Glad you are feeling better, thought I hadn't seen you much on here, hope all the family come through alright1000rr said:

Hope you & your family get well soon mate

Cheers mate, still knackered due to after effects of sepsis ( will take a while apparently) but can walk a few miles now.
Went down from 13st 4 to 10st 7 in 9 days.. sepsis diet.
When I first came out of Hospital, i couldn’t walk up the stairs before massive fatigue set in. I used to walk 20 odd miles a day mate, will get there eventually.

Well I guess at least you’ve all survived without too many lasting issues but still, all of you is awful. Hope you recover back to full strength ASAP.
A crazy idiot of a pub owner is advertising on Facebook that they are having street food vendors in their car park on the Sea Front at Roker this weekend. It was as busy as hell last weekend and now this.
Can't understand people when the death rates are so high especially up here in Sunderland.

Christ, glad you're well, sepsis is not to be trifled with!
Wild pictures of your lad, is it some sort of allergic reaction to the virus thats caused the big bugger rash?
EDIT: you literally answered as I asked lol, you may be Professor X now
Flyingfifer, knocked me for 6. The burst appendix which caused he peritonitis was painful beyond belief( especially as the doc on the out of hours sent me home with it!) but the Sepsis was horrendous. Couldn’t breath, and my body was shutting down after being left so long. I had to be stabilised before a 2.5hr op. My missus who’s NHS went nuts that they sent me home, and very nearly cost me my life, but apparently being a fit bloke helped me through it. Still affected all my organs though, but getting fitter everyday.
When we all got positive to Covid, my missus was worried sick that it would hit me hard as I’ve only been out of hospital for 4 weeks. But weirdly, no symptoms so far..... just tiredness after the sepsis.

I can fully commiserate with this 1000rr as I had exactly the same back in '08. I was 42 and massively into mountain biking at the time, probably the fittest I've ever been. I had a grumbling appendix from Sunday to Wednesday when it finally burst...I thought it was just bad guts! The most excruciating pain I've ever experienced when it burst, almost passed out at work clinging to the sink in the toilets....I couldn't shout or scream out as the pain was so all consuming. Colleague ran me to hospital where I lay in A&E for 3 or 4 hours whilst they decided what was wrong with me. My stomach was now like a football, couldn't breathe, vomiting and becoming delirious they decided to put a drain up my nose and down into my stomach. Instantaneously ejected 2 litres of green bile ! Now the alarm bells finally rang and I went into theatre at 6pm. The surgeon finished the op at 1am ! Basically they lifted all my organs out between my lungs and my backside (in the peritoneum), cleaned everything and put me back together again ! No trace of my appendix to be found ! He told my wife if I wasn't as fit, and if it had happened 10 years earlier (lack of technology) or 10 years later (I would be 52) then 100% I wouldn't have made it1000rr said:Flyingfifer, knocked me for 6.

I was in hospital for 5 weeks, they moved me into a private room off the ward as I was so infectious. I was off work for almost 8 months in total. The metal stitches from my chest to my groin became infected also leaving me with the scar from hell which I still have now. I've been hospitalized 4 times over the years since due to abdominal adhesions (bowel scar tissue fusing and constricting the bowel...but that's another story :roll: ), my immune system is very poor, I suffer with migraines, pain and generally speaking I'm 'not half the man I used to be'...but I keep on keeping on ! What's the alternative ? Without a doubt the single worst experience of my life that I still live with now on a daily basis some 13 years later.
I wish you well with your recovery 1000rr and your family also. I really hope it leaves you relatively unaffected in the future
This is me.. "but I keep on keeping on"....... This attitude will get you though.patriot66 said:I can fully commiserate with this 1000rr as I had exactly the same back in '08.

Horrendous mate isn’t it? Swallowing that ryles tube to empty your stomach is the single most horrendous thing ever. I was puking up blood in the ward ( coffee grounds) and at home before I went in, so they had to deal with that first. Every time you had to sip water to swallow a bit more of the tube, I puked blood on the doctors....When I went into septic shock, apparently I was texting loads of clients at 4am and sending them photos of my catheter... not good that.
Surgeon said at least 15-20 days in Hospital, I was out in 8 days as I apparently dealt with the infection very quickly... but said upto 3mths off work.
I was back in work after 3 weeks"... :? Mainly because I have my own business, but also because I was going stir crazy doing nothing....
[ref]patriot66[/ref],
abdominal adhesions (bowel scar tissue fusing and constricting the bowel..
I was just admitted to hospital rather quickly to get two of these dealt with a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately will have to continue to do so every couple of years for the rest of my life :thumbsdown: but I’m alive so
Coffee grinds, the very tasty combination of sh!t and blood, an experience that can’t be conveyed properly no matter how you try. Like you that was the final straw to get the to realise something serious was wrong. They got my Mrs at the time to drive me over an hour to the nearest A&E because they didn’t think there was much wrong with me ............ until they found out a third of my bowel was disintegrated/disintegrating.
20 days ICU, 6 weeks before I could walk and 9 months before I was able to go back to work but as I said I’m still here and appreciate it every day because if it wasn’t for the skill of my surgeon I wouldn’t be!!
Glad you are both on the mend
