A British woman who she had her hands and feet amputated due to sepsis is now getting ready to have a rare double transplant. Kim Smith, 61, from Milton Keynes, contracted sepsis when she fell ill with a bladder infection on a trip abroad with her husband, Steve, 63.
As a result of the infection, Kim, who used to be a hair dresser, devastatingly had to have parts of her limbs cut off, the Daily Star reports. The anguished mother experienced severe back discomfort and a terrible fever in 2017 prior to her diagnosis and said at the time she thought ''she was going to die.''
Her husband rushed her to a hospital in Elda, Spain where she was then diagnosed with sepsis and placed into a medically induced coma for six weeks. Kim was flown home to England and spent a further three weeks unconscious in Milton Keynes hospital.
