IMAGINE WAKING UP AND HAVING NO ARMS AND LEGS

"Waking up in the hospital with no arms and legs. And going, 'What's going on here?' And then he tells me. And his story will knock your socks off, cause I had no idea I was going through all that."

Katy Hayes was unconscious the entire time — unaware that a common Group A strep infection had set in, eating away at her body.
She was unaware of the incredibly difficult decision her husband made for surgeons to amputate her arms and legs in the hope that they could save her life.
"I decided that I loved her so much that the risk was worth it," Al Hayes said. "And if we came out and I had to spend a lifetime taking care of her that the risk was worth it to say that I didn't give up on her. Right? She's my best friend."
At first, Al admits he wondered if Katy would forgive him. He wondered if she could have a full life without a full body.
There is no doubt now.
"It's a complete miracle that I'm alive, so I'm so grateful... I'm so grateful," Katy said. "I wouldn't be here for my kids if they wouldn't have taken my arms and legs." i think I would have still cursed him out at least once. Wow.
