After being mauled by the Grizzly, he still has the kindness to see that others have difficulties worse than himself; "Always was in good shape and active. I have a good life, lots of people have it far worse than I." Wes Perkins. More;"...They don't do tongue transplants yet, I can taste some," he wrote, "and smell a little. Smell will be better after surgery, I hope. Life is good." Wes Perkins (cont.) ~ What a strong, caring, tough, amazing Man!!!!!!!

Wes, sir if you ever read this I take my hat off to you. I was mauled in 2016 while hunting. With similar injuries mine were not as severe. I had good people with me and the subsequent rescue was miraculous to say the least . My doctors in Denver Colorado I would recommend to you. I have a new nose and reconstructed face. I can eat normally just smaller bites. I speak ok cannot sing anymore tho. cause of time with a trach. God be with you friend. Hang tough

I saw the video of his face right after the attack before he went to the hospital, and I hunted this video down because I NEEDED to know how the man was doing now and if he survived. I'm so happy to find this, and see that he looks so much better than I thought he would look. He had... no face at all. I am beyond words at the skill of his surgeons and medical team. What an incredible story. I'm so sorry this happened to you, Wes, but know that your spirit and personality still comes through! You are amazing and inspirational and clearly a very loved man.

I cut the end of my middle finger off in a horrible saw accident about a month ago, and its left me a different man. While im very happy i didnt hurt myself worse, the trauma was still a lot to get through, and to be honest im still getting over it. To see people like this, it makes me emotional, yet proud and happy to see how well we as human beings can overcome and survive such traumas, and the advancement of modern medicine and surgery also never ceases to amaze me.
