“I was completely shocking. My whole hand was numb, so I felt that my whole hand had been removed.
“I feel grateful to be alive and I am very grateful to hold my hand.
“I have a long road of recovery further, but I have a positive attitude and I believe that I will get it through it.”

The sisters say that the flag was raised on the beach, showing that it was safe to swim and doctors confirmed that the possibility of bite was related to Reef Shark.
The pair were initially taken to a private hospital, where they were asked to pay $ 2,000 to stitch the wounds and cited $ 25,000 for further surgery.

The sisters had to pay for ambulances and taxi travels in hospitals in Jamaica, and had to get a ‘fit to fly’ certificate to come home – total $ 500.
Rachel said: “I really thought I would die. Private hospitals were worried about receiving payment only before stopping bleeding.”
Lisa said Rachel was cut inside an area, which is safe to swim near the beach with a rope.
“There were two young children floating with a rope, it’s lucky that it was not them,” he said.
“I am just so happy and grateful that he is alive.”
