Blonde Hair and Nice Body. She's every teenager's dream. But what would you think if I told you right now she's already lost her left leg and is in danger of losing her remaining limbs? Young Aimee Copeland, a 24 year old Georgia student contracted a flesh eating disease from a zip line accident and is now fighting to save her limbs and life.
On top of her illness the drugs used to save her life are also the drugs that are causing memory loss, forcing her parents to re-explain her injury each time she wakes up. As teenagers we rarely move outside our sheltered bubble that we call suburbia and learn about the real harshness of the world. And now, we are getting a taste of how cruel and frightening the world is; at any moment we could lose everything we've ever worked and lived for. Just like that.
Reading this really shocked me. She seems perfect on the outside, but just having a breif descriptions of what is wrong, completely changes my veiw on that. I couldn't imagine the terror she just go through when she wakes up and she doesn't have a leg and doesn't know where it went. I am just curious how she got this from a zip line accident.
