A mum-of-two lost both her legs after dramatically deteriorating overnight from flu-like symptoms on New Year's Eve.
Julianna Bransden had spent her first Christmas since the covid pandemic with her family when they were given the devastating news that her aunt had died unexpectedly of sepsis. Several days later the 44-year-old teacher started exhibiting flu-like symptoms and was stuck in bed.
But the following day the mum's condition went downhill and she "could not lift her head off the pillow". Jac Burgess, Julianna's sister, said her sister felt like she couldn't sit in A&E or get in a car so an ambulance was called to her.
