S2 Ep19. Mandy McCracken shares how Sepsis took all 4 of her limbs, but blood donors saved her life.

Mandy McCracken became unwell with what she thought was the flu. Within days she would be in an Intensive Care Unit fighting for her life from Sepsis which would progressively attempt to destroy her body. It was miracle that Mandy survived. Sepsis resulted in the amputation of all of Mandy's limbs but blood donors saved her life. 

Mandy joins us to share her stoic and pragmatic version of what its like to be on the edge of life and then to carve out a new life as a quad amputee.
