this here reminds me of laying in a hospital bed with 5 different IV bags hanging with a drain bag off my right knee, with over 120 stitches off each side of my scrapped infected knee(50/50 shot of loosing that) passing massive blood clots with a (50/50 % ) chance of survival. Later learned I had Type 2 in there (never knew that) My legs were swollen with blood clots in them. Was in there for almost 2-1/2 months. Ended up with a stent in my arm and on crutches and finally got leg drain bag removed. Had self medicate myself through stent with several types of meds twice a day @home for almost 3 months with weird bags and stuff., and give myself blood clot med shots daily with Dr. Visits 3 days a week.PITA to Drive myself there. My knee is still jacked up/ needs total replacement. At least the infection was removed and scrapped out. Now my knee cap is pushing out the backside of my knee. Just found out that 3 of my lower disc have collapsed down to my Sacrius of which there is no room in between the disc. I have several other bad disc. Like 13 or so total, bad kneck,left roto needs attention, both elbows as well,Have neuropathy both legs and feet, gum disease from Type 2 now loosing my teeth, lol,and a hernia that needs attention on the belly button thats pretty ugly. Im 5'9- 165lbs, and have always tried stay healthy. But I get where you are coming from. I had a Bad Blood infection that created a ball on my last two vertebrae that swelled the size of a hard ball and was told I may have had 12 hrs to live had I not came in for an emergency procedure. A few other things. LOL. Maybe I should have just ate like I didnt care and treat my body like a trash bag?? LOL
