After the incident, she learned to walk and move with her legs half amputated.

Ms. Ly recalls painful memories: “I was unconscious for 3 days, can’t remember how I fell. When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in the hospital, my legs were numb. Due to stomach damage after being unconscious for many days, I couldn’t stop vomiting. vomiting.

I just told Trang (husband’s stepdaughter – PV), see if you can help lift your aunt’s leg, why is it so painful and numb. Trang hesitated and then replied: Auntie, I don’t have legs to lift anymore…

I looked down in shock at the bottom of my body, one side cut above the pillow, the other between the pillow. My spirit fell from that moment.”

After the accident, both Ms. Ly and her husband had to learn to live life People with disabilities.

“When I first came home, I was extremely disappointed because I didn’t think there would be a day when I would become so useless. I couldn’t sit on my own, many times I fell backwards. I also fell after eating, I also fell when I went to the toilet. ..

My mother then put me on the bed, blocking the pillow around to let me slowly get used to life without legs.

In the midst of great suffering, I just wanted to die. However, every time I am close to death, I think of my mother and my family. My mother said that, after the accident, I was still alive.
