Surviving Sepsis - Katy's Story

In the fall of 2018, Katy Grainger’s world was turned upside-down when a small infected cut on her thumb caused her body to go into septic shock. Katy spent a week fighting for her life on two separate islands in the state of Hawaii. The sepsis and a secondary condition, called DIC, caused the blood-flow to her hands and feet to be disrupted, resulting in the loss of both of her lower legs and seven partial fingers. Katy now sits on the Board of Directors of Sepsis Alliance, the largest sepsis organization in the United States, where she shares her story to spread sepsis awareness and lobbies for changes within the healthcare system that impact sepsis. Katy uses her social media platforms to share information about sepsis and disability, while supporting others from both of these communities to ensure them that they are not alone. She has branched into modeling and motivational speaking and she is writing a book about her journey and the many lessons she learned along the way. LINKS:Sepsis Alliance https://www.sepsis.org/Katy - www.katygrainger.orghttps://ww....w.linkedin.com/in/ka you're enjoying the show, please consider rating and reviewing the show HERE, and share with your friends! You can find me onlineIG @Ididnotsignupforthis.podcastFB @IdidntsuftTikTok @Ididnotsignupforthis.podTwitter @Ididntsuft www.patreon.com/ididnotsignupforthiswww.ididnotsignupforthis.com
