Survivor Diaries on CNN

Boston and the rest of America should be so proud of Adrienne Davis, a dance instructor whose leg was blown off watching the Boston Marathon when the bombing occurred last year.

This documentary type special is so extraordinary because it is raw, real and such a inspiration to others especially those who have lost a limb. The hour long  special is filled with emotional clips such as Adrienne on the ground moments after the bomb went as
first responders try to save her life
is not edited and very disturbing.
    I broke out in tears in the clip when Adrienne is wakes in the hospital and is told she lost a leg.
The sheer horror of her new reality broke my heart.


However, over the next year this courageous young woman fights to regain her life back. This was not easy to watch because although she was making great strides such as walking again with a prosthetic leg, emotionally she is terrified of going out in fear another bomb will
go off. Most upsetting was when she had a emotional meltdown when she saw her husband watching a fireworks show on his computer.
As time passes she returns to the exact place she was during the bombing. It was right in front of a restaurant and she goes in and hugs the man who works there. He was the first person to run to help her and probably saved here life.

As she promised Anderson Cooper in the hospital days after the bombing, she with the help of a special bionic like prothesis gives him a dance lesson.

Adrienne you Rock!!!!!
