Yes but it is an incredibly dangerous illness. I'm a Survivor of septic shock but it was a very long recovery. I was in the ICU on a ventilator for a month and then another month in the hospital with physical therapy. I had to have two surgeries because the infection was so bad that I had a constricted lung and one of my ovaries exploded. Fortunately, I did not have any other organ failure and therefore I'm still living. I believe that the survival rate is around 50%.
