 Good thoughts, oh wise Vicki - if we think we have problems just look around and this is a great example of fortitude - courage you name it.  A miracle to me how they reconstructed.  Horrific but how this has turned around and I  know this Lady is feeling blessed.  xoxoxo great to read you - C Elyse

WOW! What a horrific mauling! I am surprised she survived! I am lost for words but they did a nice job of giving her a new face! It's amazing what medicine can do! You're right when we think we have it bad there is always someone fighting a bigger battle! sammie

I was listening to this the other day - it makes one shake our head and shiver when things like this happen. I'm admit I'm with TAPS' comment at the moment.

What a horrible thing to have happened... poor woman, and you are right, our problems seem insignificant when compared to something like that... most of them anyway.  Be well  xoxoxo

Makes you wonder why people risk keeping "exotic" pets.
The whole thing is horrifying.

Re: The before is actually the worst - when she was attacked...but the 2nd
is after the surgeons built her a new face and it's amazing.  Just suffice it to say there was hardly a face in the before.

I couldn't make myself look at the before and after pictures this morning.
Maybe this afternoon after the day has worn on.  There is so much horrible in this world that at this stage in my life I just want to run from it all.
