Appreciation- Please Read
By:
Post # 1

I know we all moan about things in our daily lives to do with our bodies. You may not like your eyes, your nose, your mouth.. but just read this, and yes it is true.

A woman was attacked by a very strong adult chimpanzee. Her face and hands were ripped off, her eyes.. everything. She is blind forever. When operating, there still was chimp teeth and hair in her cavities.

This very brave woman has had a face and hand transplant, although she will never be able to see her face. As you can imagine she has undergone a lot, both emotionally and physically.

So this is just a post to remind you all to appreciate your body more. You are not dreadfully disfigured or burned like some unfortunate people- be happy. Because it could be so much worse.

I hope this has at least give you something to think about. Bare in mind how fortunate you are.

Pictures can be found on Google, her name is Charla Nash.

A saw a documentary on that poor woman. I believe that her friend showed up with a new haircut (drastic) he thought she was an intruder. There are many other reasons, but i believe that's what set the chimp over the edge, there quiet territorial.
