Hey ❤️ As some of you may know I’ve been in the hospital off and on for the past month, but I’m home now and feeling much better.
With having lupus everything is spontaneous when it comes to my health. With that being said, I spontaneously developed a pseudo aneurysm in the groin and need a stint placed in that artery and was sent home. The next day I developed a hematoma in the same place and had to go back to the hospital. After 3 days was sent back home. That’s following day started running a fever, right back to the hospital I go, but this time no one knew the cause of the fever, so what did they do send me home. Was doing good for a about a week. Then, another fever, but this time I couldn’t breath and it would hurt to take deep breaths, so back to the hospital I go. To find that it’s pneumonia, after a week I’m better and back home.
All I could question is how and what about school. I had already missed 3 weeks of material and two test. I blamed myself for a while and was only focused on making up my work and not falling behind in my classes, but wasn’t worrying about my health.
I started to battle with what was more important. I felt I was well enough to make up all missed work and still stay on track with new material, but it became overwhelming, so I’ve decided to put school on hold for this semester. It was the HARDEST thing for me to do, but it had to be done. I didn’t want to stress myself out trying to rush and make up material and end up potential causing myself more harm due to stress. My number one priority is taking care of myself.
On top of that,this is a crucial time in the world and this virus is scary. (Being immunocompromised puts me more at risk to catching this virus). We have to take everything and everyone into consideration, so no matter what you feel like you’re losing out on or missing out on your health is more important. STAY HOME!
P.S this is NOT the end of my page.
