The Original OTIB Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 For those who have not seen it, what an awful thing to happen (to anyone) but what a fight from Brooke. Inspirational to us all. Not many get through sepsis unless there is very early intervention. Love to Brooke and best wishes for next season xxx 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to Brooke and best wishes for next season xxx Very brave to share her story I had sepsis a fee years back, luckily it was caught early for me and I got treated very quickly, but still a scary experience. Love and hugs to Brooke. X 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Same as Matt, I had sepsis a few years ago, along with pneumonia and wasn't at all well. Luckily, like Matt, it was caught in time but I thought I just had a stinking cold or the flu. Son came home from school and I had passed out in a pool of sweat. I woke up 3 days later in the RUH. Turns out my temperature was 44, not that I knew anything about it. Horrible disease, absolutely horrible and I share the good wishes to Brooke. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Great job from the media team to put this together so well. Full credit to Brooke too for openly telling her story, hopefully it will at least reach some people who are similarly affected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's scary how quick this can creep up on you. Mines a bit of a gross story to be honest it involved an abcess in a sensitive area. I'd been told many times it was nothing and would pass, well no it wasn't nothing it was an abcess that eventually burst, even when it burst they were sending me home until they took blood tests and found my blood was infected, I was amidiataly put onto an iv drip, was the worst experience of my life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like she could be one hell of a player too She already is - she will be a full England international within the next 3 years in my opinion (especially if Chelsea get their way and sign her after repeated attempts already).

maxjak Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Brooke is an amazing young player, who's strength and resilence is to be admired. I will follow her career from now on....and I already can tell she will be a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Good on her. Had it twice during chemo, don't really recall much of it myself, but was brought down to earth when my missus told me she was asked to have my parents "on standby". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
