[@jamesthompson3674]

@@descartesdonkey4291 In a statement he said: "Whilst my heart tells me to stand again, there being so much unfinished business across local regeneration and national issues which are important to me, my head knows this to be impossible at this time. It would be difficult to withstand the rigours of an all-out election campaign, a campaign that I’d always wish to lead from the front. Thereafter, upon being re-elected it would be difficult for me to sustain 70 to 80-hour working weeks which were the norm prior to my illness. I had hoped to phase my return to the House of Commons over the coming months as my abilities improved. Since leaving in-patient rehabilitation a month ago my life now revolves around medical appointments and I face numerous future operations as a result of the serious sepsis that I suffered which very nearly took my life."

[@andrewmcgonagle6290]

So happy for this man, and how he and his family are coping with this awful situation. I had a run in with sepsis last year, though nothing as serious as Craig. I developed an abscess on my upper back, which ballooned and started leaking puss. Called NHS24 Scotland and was admitted to QEUH in Glasgow. The two surgeons who carried out the procedure were at my bedside two days later, telling me how close I had come to popping my clogs. It was obvious they were proud they saved me (I'm 69), I was over the Moon and beyond! On release from hospital, I spent some time researching sepsis and after reading some horror stories, I'm still surprised these brilliant surgeons saved my life. I have a series of pictures, but don't know how to get them on here. Thanks for taking the time to read my story. And all the best Craig. Andy

So awful for him to have to go through that. My friend has "suddenly" and I mean like someone has flicked a switch, lost the use of one of her legs, totally numb and part of her torso.
