Necrotizing fasciitis, sometimes known as a flesh-eating illness, was the result of a severe incision on her leg becoming infected with the bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila after she fell.
Aimee was successful and adapted after 11 operations and rigorous therapy, but she lost both hands and legs as a result
Over the course of four years following the accident, Aimee has slowly but surely adapted to her new life, and now this image of the warrior is sweeping social media and inspiring many.
Aimee is wearing a bikini on the beach and shows off her scars and amputations with no shame.
She wrote: “It has taken me a long time to become comfortable with and accept my new body. We are ALL made with imperfections and there is so much beauty in our flaws. The scars and skin grafting build character! It’s not about what you have — what you do with what you have is what really counts.”
