Her publicist only said it because her husband called and said she died. That's what's odd to me. If my husband were near death, I wouldn't want to leave his bedside. I'd want to be by his side, holding his hand until he was gone. And I know, not everyone is the same, but isn't it odd to go to the hospital, leave before she dies, and then call her publicist and say she's dead anyway? Even if you didn't expect her to live long, why say she's dead if she isn't?

Yup! Been a thing for years now. I think I read about it when I was in my 20's and I don't have to tell you how long ago that was. I personally have never seen anyone (until recently) with orange skin, but it is documented as factual I think.
When E was a baby, she LOVED the carrots babyfood. She would eat pear, banana, and carrots and not much else. Her nose turned orange when I gave her carrots too often.

What I read was she had a UTI that spread to her kidneys --- septicemia Whatever it was Sad--- RIP
Been there... almost did that. Decided to skip that last part. Sepsis is one nasty thing. It comes on as quick as a bolt of lightening and you don't even know what is happening, but it doesn't feel good physically or mentally.

I caught all kinds of criticism because I drove myself to the ER, 23 miles away. When I left home all I had was a pain in my side that I guessed, due to having one before, was a kidney stone. So I headed on up. About 10 miles away it kicked in. My body started to shake top to bottom, it was 85 degrees outside but I started to feel so chilled that I even turned my car heater up to maximum (didn't help). Because every muscle in my body was shaking constantly the only way I could drive was to grab the steering wheel and push myself back into the seat to obtain a sturdy grip on the wheel. The shaking also got me so winded that I thought my lungs were going to burst, I was breathing so hard. I thought about pulling over and calling 911, but I also was convinced that by the time an ambulance got to me, I would be dead, so I kept pushing on.

Luckily this was 1am and there was no traffic. I got to the ER found a place to park my car, walked in and no one even asked me why I was there or my name. They just grabbed me by the arm and hauled me in to the inside. They thought I was having a heart attack but within a few minutes it was diagnosed as sepsis. They immediately hit me with massive anti-biotics and within a little while the shaking and chills had stopped and they were able to determine that it was being caused by the kidney stone that I had thought was there to begin with. The Doctors, of course, gave me a 'come to Jesus meeting' for driving there, but also ended that scolding with "but, you probably would have died waiting for an ambulance".

My advice is DON'T GET SEPSIS. Now I only wish I could tell you how to avoid it.

Nothing to fool around with my wife's mother got a UTI and lead to other complications she was in her 80's and unfortunately passed away. UTI seem to be more prevalent in females --anatomy
