I just had my follow up appointment with my Doctor after spending almost 9 full days in the hospital...

He told me, "Shane, you were 2-3 days from your organs failing... or worse.  Thank God you went to the ER when you did. This kills people. It could have killed you."

Here's what happened...

I came home a few weeks ago from a speaking event in Florida.

Over the next few days, I felt super tired all the time. 

You know the feeling, right?

Where you just can't "wake up" all day, or find much motivation to do anything?

At first I thought, "I'm probably just tired from traveling... I'll shake it off."

Then the fevers started...

101...

102...

103... That's when I got a little scared.

My brother sent me a text to check on me and I showed him the thermometer...

He was right, I needed to go to the hospital, but I had a problem...

We were in the middle of a snow storm and all the power at our house went out.

I decided to "tough it out" and stay with my family so we could deal...
