| Going home! Rebekah DiMartino (center) celebrated her final day in rehab after having her left leg amputate |
A woman
injured in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing who had several surgeries
before having part of her leg amputated recently was discharged from a
rehab facility Saturday and has vowed to run the race next year.
Rebekah
DiMartino. 27, said she looks forward to getting her stitches out in
early December and being fitted for a prosthetic left leg.
'The
prognosis is great. I chopped off what was holding me back,' DiMartino
said 'The prognosis, is you'll see me running the Boston Marathon next
year.'
DiMartino had more than a dozen operations but still dealt with lingering pain.
Before the surgery, Rebekah had remained upbeat and even threw the leg a 'last supper' celebration.
