TV star Gloria Hunniford has told how she is now back at work following a health scare which saw her rushed for two surgeries.She had an operation to blast the stones and put a stent in, then a second one to remove it three weeks later.But after the first op, when kidney stones were removed under general anaesthetic, she began to feel unwell.
“But the next thing I knew coming out of the anaesthetic, was a nurse saying to me, ‘Don’t worry, don’t panic but we are having to transfer you by ambulance to a different hospital because we can’t get your blood pressure up’.”She told our sister title The Daily Mirror: “It was like somebody had put a tap in my body and just drained all the energy.” Doctors later told her that she had sepsis of the kidney.“I guess that’s why I felt so awful and it did flatten me for a while.
She said: “Medical professionals said it could take up to six months to return to what one would deem normality after two anaesthetics so close together.”She said: “I set myself little tasks and my [husband] Stephen was marvellous. He was chief cook and bottle-washer and my whole wonderful family rallied round”.

Allies or enemies of cancer: The dual fate of neutrophilsWhy do cancer immunotherapies work so extraordinarily well in a minority of patients, but fail in so many others?
