Model And Blogger Lauren Scruggs Makes A Comeback After Losing Limb And Eye In Plane Propeller Accident

Responding paramedics thought she was dead, as a badly injured Scruggs was found face down in a pool of blood. Scruggs sustained a cracked skull (traumatic brain injury) and severed hand, with doctors having to remove her damaged left eye shortly after.


Scruggs, whose website is called LoLo, has written a book entitled "Still LoLo." In it she describes the terrible trauma she went through due to the accident. She tells of the moment after the accident, when she first looked at herself naked in the mirror.


The model expressed in the tome that she was horrified at the surgical screws in her half shaved head, where her luxurious locks once lay, the scar on her face, her missing eye and hand and cracked teeth. Scruggs says she went into the shower, crumpled on the floor and cried. The accident is undoubtedly a tough trauma.


Scruggs told herself her life is ruined and she is ugly and no one would love her. However, that's not true. There are many men who would marry her. Losing a limb does not make one unattractive. Scruggs is still beautiful, with a great figure. She also has much to live for, via her writing and doing charity work. Scruggs can also continue to model, as newly released pictures show her looking fantastic. Your life isn't over. There is still much you can achieve.
