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.

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.
She was then taken to Bedford Hospital for the major surgery and spent over three months recovering, before attending Queen Mary's Hospital, in Roehampton, for rehabilitation. Kim, from Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes, said: "For almost six months, I was just in bed until I got to go to rehab.

"I knew enough to see they were useless and that nothing else could be done." She is currently on the waiting list for a double hand transplant at Leeds General Infirmary, which has successfully performed 14 life-changing transplants since 2016.
Kim cannot work since the amputation, says she misses her hands most of all as she cannot do things for herself. Husband Steve, who was a vehicular collection and delivery
