A Scottish mum who returned home from an Easter walk on the beach feeling "shivery" has since had to have her toes amputated after being diagnosed with sepsis. Kimberley Bradley also shared with Edinburgh Live how close she "came to dying" from the life-threatening condition that has left her in a wheelchair and living with the constant fear that other parts of her body may need to be amputated in the future.
The 42-year-old was rushed to hospital when she was unable to speak a few hours after her family stroll back in 2019. There, she was told she had septicaemia and had to undergo emergency treatment.
Recalling that traumatic day, Kimberley said: “We had enjoyed a lovely walk along the beach and, for Easter weekend, the weather was really lovely. We came home in the early evening and started making the tea.
