An update on our little trooper:

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/ar.../ln/ln01a.html

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Three weeks after a "gray blur" bit off her left arm, Bethany Hamilton is putting her life back together.

The stitches covering the wound caused by the 14-foot tiger shark were to come out yesterday afternoon, and she was eager for her doctor's permission to get back in the water. Bethany is still listed among the top-ranked women surfers, and she insists that she'll be back on the waves soon.

Quite a disturbing picture knowing that her life has undoubtedly changed forever. At least she still wears that smile and is more than excited to get back out into the water -- a sign of a true trooper.

Aloha
