A primary school teacher lost both her legs after going to bed with flu-like symptoms on New Year's Eve.
Mum-of-two Julianna Bransden began feeling unwell while celebrating Christmas with her mum, dad and siblings. After going to bed with flu-like symptoms on New Year's Eve, Julianna's condition deteriorated dramatically the following day, LancsLive reports.
Her condition turned out to be far worse than her family first thought. Julianna "could not lift her head off the pillow" and was unable to check her phone for over a day, according to her husband, Tim.
