MUM-of two Elin Rantatalo, 33, lost her legs and fingers to a flesh-eating bug after blacking out on a dream holiday in Gran Canaria.
“Before that day, I was like any other busy young mum, juggling looking after my daughter Stella, then six, and son Cornelis, four, with running my own hairdressing salon. By March 2019, me and my husband Olle – who I’d met in 2007 when we were neighbours – were looking forward to a family holiday in Gran Canaria for some much-needed relaxation.
“I slipped in and out of consciousness for another week, before waking up to see Olle, my children, sisters and parents crying in relief. “When I saw my toes and fingers had turned grey, doctors said there was a high chance I’d lose both lower legs and most of my fingers. I was scared, but I knew I’d get through it, and I refused to let fear win.
Anyone else read that while singing it to the tune of, 'I lost my heart to a starship trooper . . . '? Just me then 😳
