A triathlete is ready to face life with no limbs after they were all amputated as she fought sepsis.
Cardiff University medical student Lily McGarry, from Jersey, believed she was experiencing a bout of "freshers' flu".
But after being taken to hospital, the 24-year-old suffered two heart attacks and fell into a coma, with the next three months a complete blank.
The life-threatening condition, where the body's response to an infection damages tissues and organs is not yet clearly understood and can affect anyone, of any age, according to the UK Sepsis Trust.
"When you're young you think, as I did, that these kind of conditions don't affect you," said Lily.
