"Unable To Grow Nails": 50 Fascinating And Wild Things That Can Happen To The Human Body

#1

Necrotising Fascitis, 2 Years On

Close-up of a human forearm showing an extra finger growing near the wrist, illustrating unusual body anomaly.

In November 2022, I noticed some swelling on my knee and went to a clinic and was given flucloxacillin. Just two days later I was in the hospital with sepsis and the beginning of tissue necrosis (likely due to an already present COVID infection suppressing my immune system). The infection rapidly developed into necrotizing fasciitis covering most of the scar area, but after trying 5 different antibiotics, 8 surgical debridements, 2 blood transfusions, and a month in hospital, they managed to get it under control. Split skin grafts were taken from my thigh, leaving me with gnarly scars covering most of my left leg.

Honestly, I'm still struggling with body image and PTSD, but I'm healing mentally and physically one step at a time. I'm hoping that one day soon I'll be able to love my body again.
