Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' Touching Recovery Featured On Television (Video)

November 15. 2011

Last night, ABC News, featured the extraordinary recovery of Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head by a schizophrenic, Satan worshipping gunman at a meet and greet in Tucson, Arizona. Initial reports claimed she was killed in the shooting, after a bullet pierced her brain. It really is sad how the deeds of another can completely destroy a person's life. However, Giffords says she is not angry with shooter, Jared Lee Loughner.

Giffords remarkable 10-month recovery really is a blessing. It's heartbreaking to watch, as Giffords initially struggles to get back on her feet...literally. The bullet left her unable to walk or talk. She was as an infant, having to learn to speak and walk again, but she did. Certain cognitive functions are still affected and she is not quite her old self yet. Giffords is still attempting a complete recovery and if successful at this endeavor, will return to Congress.

During the interview, she sometimes struggles to find words to express how she feels and walks with a limp, as apart of the residual damage from the bullet. It's amazing that her leg was not injured, but due to the traumatic brain injury and the sector of the brain it impacted, the brain is instructing her leg to move in said manner. The cell regeneration process in Giffords is still fascinating and her story very inspiring.
