Intubation and Mechanical Ventilation Contributions by ingiehcreations

I was on ventilation in a medically induced coma for about 3 weeks from the 28th May this year due to my lungs colapsing from Swine Flu. They took me off ventiation but my lungs colapsed again and they did a trachaeoptomy while i was on ventialtion this time i colapsed and had a stroke. they say i died 3 times and had to be revived, my doctors did'nt think i would survive. i came out of hospial on the 10th July. still battling with my left arm from the stroke. people believe i should be happy but i feel sad and depressed. cant drive anymore for now and dependant on others Ingrid
