Vanessa Hernandez, 37 lays in her bed at home almost two weeks following amputation surgery of her left leg on March 12, 2019, at her home in Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras. Hernandez had been suffering from elephantiasis on her left leg for many years and had finally decided to undergo amputation preferring to walk with a prosthetic leg than the extra weight of her previous leg. Her family and friends have all been very supportive of her decision.
