Face

In one of the many YouTube videos I had downloaded in backlog, I came across a Nat Geo segment on the youngest recipient of a facial transplant.

What was a quick 2-minute tease showed the important bits of context. A young lady needed a facial transplant after a traumatic injury. After three years, she finally found a suitable donor.

Upon being (thankfully) baited into reading the entire segment on Nat Geo, I was shown a very delicate and fascinating story of a family recovering from a tradegy and persevering through many difficulties and placing their faith in both God, and modern medicine.

It was very touching, to see the empathy of human beings at their very best. Without spoiling too much, I emplore you to check out National Geographic's segment called "Katie's Face". And big warning, many images are graphic as it involves loads of surgery.

Sidenote, I'm trying to push for a double date next week as Shufs's boyfriend is coming down to Malaysia and I've never met the guy before. Seeing as Shufs has never met my date, it seemed like a good, terrible, cute idea to have.

Here's to hoping she's free.
