A young man walks onto the stage of Stars in their Eyes, on
crutches, with a plaster cast from his feet to his hips. Matthew Kelly
introduces him as Simon.. . . . 'It's very brave of you to come out here,'
says Matthew. - please tell the audience what happened to you.
'Well' replies Simon, "about a year ago, I was driving with my uncle and we had a really bad accident. Unfortunately my uncle was killed outright but I
survived.. . . I was trapped in the car for six hours before I was
eventually cut free. The doctors had me in surgery for 12 hours but
they couldn't save my legs.'
"That's terrible. But I see you have legs now. Are they artificial ?" asks Matthew
"No Matthew, while I was in hospital the doctors informed me
that my Uncle had in fact died, but that his legs were fine and with all
the advances in medical science, they could graft the bottom half of his
body onto mine. As you can see the operation was successful.
I have been having physiotherapy for six months and hope to be walking
fully again by the end of the year".
A huge round of applause erupts from the audience.
Kelly responds with: 'That's an unbelievable story. So tonight, who are
you going to be?'
