I
got a small cut on the side of my index finger – within 36-48hrs
I was rushed into hospital with Septicaemia. My finger was taken
off to the knuckle, and then several days later I got Necrotising
Fasciitis.
I was taken down for further surgery to have my knuckle and flesh
taken away. I had further surgery and had my arm cut from the wrist
to the elbow down to the muscle, it was left open so the bugs could
eat the blood.
I have been very lucky – I have been given a second
chance to live. This happened February 2000; I am getting there
slowly.
If any person would like to have a chat I will be happy to help
in any way I can.
