Postman has both his feet amputated after suffering from sepsis.⚠️ He recalls: ‘On the Saturday, I felt pretty terrible, but as all men do, I just went home, ran a bath and got into bed, hoping I’d be able to sleep it off.' But when Ryan woke up the next morning, he began to shake uncontrollably, his face became covered in a rash and his feet turned freezing cold. Recognising the gravity of the situation, his partner, Shaaron, called an ambulance. Ryan was slipping in and out of consciousness as he was rushed to Redhill’s East Surrey Hospital, where he was immediately put into an induced coma in the intensive care unit to help protect his organs from the sepsis, which was by then attacking his system.

As the days went by he began to get better as the sepsis – which doctors put down to a latent case of meningitis – began to recede. While his body had fought to protect his vital organs, his feet were ‘black and leathery’ as the tissue was effectively dead because of a lack of blood supply, causing gangrene and leaving the doctors no choice but to amputate.

Now recuperating from the operation, Ryan is building up his strength to have the two prosthetic legs fitted.

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Excepting yourself and your brother, I do not know his equal for temper. I shall never forget his flying Henry's kite for him that very windy day last Easter--and ever since his particular kindness last September twelvemonth in writing that note, at twelve o'clock at night, on purpose to assure me that there was no scarlet fever at Cobham, I have been convinced there could not be a more feeling heart nor a better man in existence.--If any body can deserve him, it must be Miss Taylor."
