BANFIELD: It was just a fall off of a zipline and a cut on her right leg but, days later, a flesh-eating bacteria was ravaging this woman's body. It took Aimee Copeland's hands, her feet, it took her right leg. The doctor said she had a 1 percent chance of living, but that was seven months ago, and her recovery has been remarkable. She spoke with Erin Burnett last night and, as you are about to see, her resilience is breathtaking.</s>AIMEE COPELAND, HAS FLESH-EATING BACTERIA: There's not a whole lot I can't do. At this point, I think the hardest thing to do is handling objects and keeping them in my hands. I'm not dropping them because if things are in my reach I can pretty much do everything, but when I drop something on the ground, there's not a whole lot I can do about it. Luckily, that might change soon because I'm hopefully getting a service dog very soon, and that dog will help me by picking things up off the ground and opening and closing doors for me. That's another difficult thing is closing a door on yourself with a wheelchair in the way. Still getting used to it. You know, every day, when I wake up in the morning, I'm not in that place that I wake up, and it's, like, oh, this is just how things normally are. It's still definitely taking some getting used to.</s>BANFIELD: Wow. Unbelievable. You know, she plans to graduate with her Masters in August. And that's not enough. Nope. Not for Aimee. She's going to start work on her second Masters degree in social work. That's next year. And her goal is to help develop programs in a residential center for people living with disabilities. Go, Aimee, go. You are my hero. Thanks, everyone for watching. NEWSROOM INTERNATIONAL with Suzanne Malveaux starts now.
