A great-gran fell into a coma and had both legs and fingertips amputated after being bitten by an insect while gardening. Susan Buttery, 68, from Highworth in Wiltshire, was rushed to hospital with flu-like symptoms and vomiting in May 2013. She developed streptococcal septicaemia, strain A and the flesh-eating bug necrotising fasciitis – causing her skin to go black. Sue had to have 60 operations and doctors told her husband she’d be lucky to survive. She said: "When I was in hospital I was a bit afraid, the different things I went through, especially when I was in the coma and coming out of the coma, it was so weird. "I was swelling up inside, I couldn't breathe properly, and I ended up having a tube down my throat to help me. "I was losing skin, I was losing fluid through the skin, and they asked for help from other hospitals." Doctors continued to clean her skin before amputation became unavoidable. She continued: "I remember the day when they said that the things will have to start going. I didn't think that it was that bad. "When they said they had to take my legs, I just talked to myself 'well they've got to go otherwise I'm going to die’ and I just wanted to try to get back to as normal as soon as possible." Despite gardening for years, Sue never thought about the dangers of getting infections – and continues to take care of her garden. The mum-of-two and grandmother-of-six added: "I'm a little bit more careful now, especially if I see anything buzzing around me or anything like that. "I love gardening and I'm not scared – even with what happened to me. "I love seeing things that you have actually done growing and it's lovely listen to the birds and be able to get outside." Sue, who know gets around on prosthetic limbs from the knee down, has also embarked on a weight loss plan since leaving hospital. She said: "I was warned before the infection that I was borderline diabetic. I move a lot better now than what I did before. "I've got a different circle of friends now, very supportive. We all talk about our different weight losses."
