It has changed my life so much. I went to the er in my town, expecting them to treat it and send me home. Three weeks later I was discharged from a hospital in a big city far away. During my hospital stay, my husband (who had mental health issues to begin with) burned all our furniture and rented out my house. I was beyond depressed. There were times I was actively suicidal. Messages from my friends and Co workers really saved my life. Necrotizing facitis has far reaching effects on your life. The physical effects give way to some depression..
