"I purchased my GE top load washer & dryer online, through Home Depot, on August 25, 2020. I also went with their extended warranty through Asurion. \nDuring the first part of December 2024 the washing machine wasn't functioning\nproperly. I contacted Home Depot Protection Plan. About a week and a half later on December 16, 2024, a technician arrived and determined the unit needed a speed sensor, and ordered one. On January 2, 2025 the speed sensor was replaced. It didn't solve the issue. A motor & invertor board was ordered. On January 15, 2025 those parts were installed. Didn't help. The main board was installed. Still not working properly. A technician was due to come out on January 15, 2025, but received a call saying the wiring harness needed replaced. Again, on order. It is due to be installed February 6, 2025. It's going two months with no working machine. They won't replace the unit, even though a technician has been out here four times. I'm 76 years old and having to go to a laundromat. I can safely say this has been one of the worse experiences I've had to deal with."
If it continues, sepsis can develop into septic shock, a life-threatening situation in which organs begin to fail and blood pressure drops even more dramatically. Any kind of infection can trigger sepsis. But certain infections, such as pneumonia, abdominal or kidney infection, and infections that affect the blood, are more likely to cause sepsis.
Even with treatment, sepsis can progress to severe sepsis or septic shock, causing organ damage. Close monitoring and treatment for sepsis occur in the hospital setting, typically with a combination of antibiotics, intravenous fluids and other medications, including vasopressors, corticosteroids or pain relievers.
What are the differences among sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock? Sepsis refers to signs of inflammation in the presence of a presumed infection, Dr. Peters says. “Severe sepsis means you’ve got that and signs of organ damage: lung injury, impaired kidney function, impaired liver function,” Dr. Peters explains.
La sepsis, también conocida como septicemia, es una complicación potencialmente mortal que deriva de una infección. La sepsis se produce cuando las sustancias químicas liberadas en el torrente sanguíneo para combatir la infección provocan una reacción inflamatoria en todo el cuerpo. La inflamación puede, entonces, desencadenar una avalancha de cambios capaces de dañar varios órganos

Some people develop only mild symptoms, but human ehrlichiosis can be a severe or life threatening illness due to potential serious complications, such as septic shock, respiratory failure and kidney failure. If treated promptly with antibiotics, the infection generally improves in just a few days.
