The severe form of sepsis is known to begin in the urinary tract when an infection goes untreated and then travels to the kidneys, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
When he was finally stable enough to be taken off the machine, Porter was told his leg "had gone into compartment syndrome, which is when the muscles close in on themselves and cut off the oxygen."
Porter continued, "I was dead for three days. I am a miracle. I'm a walking miracle...I am so grateful to be here. It is such a gift."
"As I sat in my hospital bed, reflecting, there were a couple of things I heard. The first thing I heard was: Work smarter, not harder. The second thing I heard was: Be obedient and answer the call. And the third thing I heard was: Don't you ever stop telling the truth again," Porter concluded.
