Sepsis

"I'm lucky that I survived... but I'm also upset at what happened to me and how it will affect me," said Sadie Kemp, who lost all 10 fingers and both feet.

Kim Smith, 61, said she "had never heard of sepsis" when she fell seriously ill on holiday and had to have all four limbs amputated.

Sadie Kemp - who went into septic shock on Boxing Day - is due to get two prosthetic legs fitted this week.
