Maria and her mother share Gina's sepsis story with ITV London. UKST Joint CEO Sarah Hamilton-Fairley explains more about this condition, which claims 48,000 lives in the UK each year.
i am 74 and 12years ago, i went to sleep and when i woke up i was in intensive care. I was in hospitals for v9 months because the sepsis had clung to metal work in my back and the medication took months to go, I had to have a operation to remove the metal. I was unable to walk. Now i am left with a dropped foot an mainly housed bound on morphine. My heart goes out to your family. Sepsis can creep up on you so fast,they ?diagnosed me with a urine infection at first?
