A woman whose labia was torn off after she was thrown off a speeding truck says she has her sex drive back and wants children.
Megan Torio suffered the horrific injury in June 2010, at the hands of an abusive ex boyfriend.
Megan, now 28, suffered a broken back, shoulder, collar bone and six ribs, and was lucky to survive after being flung from the vehicle, which was travelling at 65mph.
She’s now married to husband Ron Torio, who she met in March 2011, and said: ‘I was nervous about having sex again. I was done with men. I thought no man would be interested in me.
“But I now have my sex drive back.
“Ron and I want children and I think we’ll start trying for a family later this year.’
It took 18 hours of surgery to realign her back, and she had separate work to construct her labia.
Megan, from Florida, said: ‘They took skin from my back to make me a new labia, and you would never know in a million years I’d had surgery there.
‘I had 15 stitches put in and was swollen for a fortnight.
‘I was told I would never walk again.’
But she had her sights set on recovery, and bought a cane to help her get around.
Megan said: ‘I thought no-one would be interested in me. I was paraplegic and didn’t feel like a woman.
‘I was embarrassed about being in a wheelchair so I used my walker on our first date to walk from the car in to the restaurant.
‘On our second date, I was determined to use my cane.
‘Though I was sweating and in a lot of pain, I wanted to show I was an independent woman and I didn’t need a man to look after me.
‘After that, Rod encouraged me to use my cane. He was so supportive. He’s a good guy.’
