Subject: RE: BS: Appalling deaths from Sepsis
Glad to hear it Roger. And yes, your poor wife must have been terribly worried.

About five years ago, my husband had the beginnings of sepsis due to an 'acute abdomen'. He was quickly taken to hospital in an ambulance and they discovered he had infected wounds inside his gut where intestinal worms had attached themselves when he was younger (in Africa) He had intravenous antibiotics and stayed for two nights (in a private room - astonishing for the NHS!) They cared for him extremely well and he soon recovered, but I'll never forget the worry.
The little horror was boasting later that TWO very attractive nurses had helped him to the bathroom, pulling his drip along on wheels. He felt like a king!
