Default Channel 5 now - the story of the woman with half a body

6 mins into the program and all i can say is - wow - she is quite simply an amazing person, despite her disability, she does everything herself, drives her orn car, rebuilds V8 engines, and is currently restoring a 1968 mustang - absolutely amazing

Saw the advert with her on the Skateboard.

Why doesnt she have prosthetic limbs or a wheelchair though? Surely would make life a bit easier.

I saw that.

How fantastic was she, still living her life, complains about nothing, had a boy, husband, looks after her skitsofrenic Dad and mentally ill brother.

Top Bird.

Next Monday is about conjoined twins.

Well since she is in the states I suspect that would cost her a fortune and she doesn't seem the type to go asking for charity.

she wouldn't be able to physically do anything with prosthetic limbs cos she has nothing to join them to

She might end up in a wheelchair anyways due to her arms not being able to take the strain of walking for that long

Amazing woman, amazing story
