A 50-year-old Georgia woman is lucky to be alive after losing all four limbs to a sepsis infection that she initially thought was a case of the flu. “Within 30 minutes of when I got there, I coded the first time,” she told the news outlet. Months later she became a quadruple amputee, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. “I thought my life was over.”Now 16 months later, Steele is living independently again, and walking and cooking with the help of prosthetic limbs. Evans said his former patient “truly is a survivor.”“If you have a mindset to be strong, work hard, you can do anything you put your mind to,” Steele told the news outlet.
