Four years after a harrowing battle with flesh-eating bacteria that took her hands, leg, and foot, Aimee Copeland is embracing her new self with confidence. In a recent Facebook post, Copeland shared a photo from her vacation in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she can be seen enjoying the beach, scars and all.
In her heartfelt post, Copeland expressed, “It’s been a journey to find comfort and acceptance in my new body. We all have imperfections that make us unique, and there’s genuine beauty in our flaws. Scars and the strength to heal build character! It’s not about what you possess – it’s about making the most of what you’ve got that truly matters.”
