Woman wakes up from coma without arms or legs
Victim of flesh-eating disease
ALLISTON, Ont. — Imagine brushing your teeth, jumping into bed to sleep as usual, then waking up the next morning without arms or legs.
That’s what happened to Cyndi Desjardins, a 44-year-old mother of two young children who lost her limbs to flesh-eating disease last year.
“It was the darkest moment of my life, but I realized I could come to terms with this” and recapture life with her husband and kids, Desjardins told the annual meeting of Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston, Ont., Tuesday night.
Less than 12 months after returning home from hospital and rehabilitation, Desjardins has become a motivational public speaker, fundraiser, writer and what she terms a ‘Supermom’.
