Article summary:
When Tess Morris walked into the patio door of her holiday apartment her injuries were so severe that she nearly bled to death. The accident in Gran Canaria severed her main blood vessels and nerves in one arm, causing her to lose 70% of the blood in her body. "My family thought I was going to die. I can't remember much about it, but there was blood everywhere. The cut was so severe I lost seven pints of blood," the 44-year-old mother-of-one said.
