Imagine going into the hospital for minor surgery, thinking you would be in and out in no time…only to end up being hospitalized for months battling a lethal infection and then dealing with the aftermath.<\/p>\n
That's what happened to 35-year-old Bonnie Judge. She went into the hospital to have a blockage in her bowel cleared, which she needed before she could get her appendix removed. But she ended up developing a life-threatening case of sepsis, a deadly, systematic condition caused by the body's response to an infection.<\/p>\n
At first, doctors thought her bowel surgery had gone well. Judge was wheeled to a recovery room and even offered Jell-O. But just 20 minutes later, things took a turn for the worse. "I threw up all over myself and was shaking and asked to have a nurse help me shower, and honestly that’s the last thing I really remember," Judge wrote in a blog post for Sepsis Alliance<\/a>.<\/p>\n She was then taken to the ICU and put into a medically induced coma. Judge had got into septic shock, which could kill her if the sepsis infection couldn't be controlled. The disease is so deadly because it moves swiftly, causing dangerously low blood pressure that leads to organs shutting down.<\/p>\n
