Katie: That was a beautiful sight to see, Aimee Copeland.
Aimee: Thank you. It felt pretty good too.
Katie: How did it feel? I was so proud of you, by the way. And it's just so moving I think for everybody here to see what a massive accoplishment this is. Tell me how did it feel when you're walking now?
Aimee: So good. I mean after being sitting or lying down for so long, just being vertical 1, you know. You take for granted how wonderful it is just to look people in the eyes.
Katie: Was there any point where you said "I can't do this. I'd rather die" ?
Aimee: No. Em, now, I don't... that was never really an option to me. Because I mean I love life, you know. It's a beautiful thing. It's something that I don't take for granted anymore. I never take for granted how beautful it is, you know, seeing a sunrise or, you know, the ocean, I mean, animal... You know, it's just so exhilarating and even more so now, it's like the senses are so deepened, you konw, smell, everything smells better, everything is more vibrant 2, colorful, even more beautiful than ever before.
Katie: When I first met you in Atlanta this summer, I have to say, I was nervous. You know, I didn't know how I would deal with what had happened to you. It could've made me uncomfortable. But it became, I was made aware immediately that what you don't have is so eclipsed by what you do have. And it was such a remarkable 3 opportunity, such an incredible experience for me to get to know you, and to talk to you, and to see your extraordinary optimism. I mean you're just an amazing girl.
Aimee: Yeah, that's why I tell people, and that's why I don't like to be called like disabled, or like handicapped. Because unlucky there's a lot that I don't have that other people have, but there's a lot that I do have that other people don't have. And so I think we all instead of saying "I'm disabled", I just say "I have different abilities".
