Miami Homeless Man With Face Chewed Off Is Recovering…[Extreme Photos]

After he was Attached(In the Hospital)

Miami homeless man Ronald Poppo lived through quite a horrible event and lives to tell the tale.

Poppo’s face was nearly completely chewed off during a vicious and strange attack by Rudy Eugene last month during the labour day weekend in Miami.

Poppo lost his eyebrows, part of his forehead and right cheek, and his nose, his left eye was removed and his right eye was also severely damaged, but doctors hope to restore vision to it.

According to the Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center , despite it all, Poppo is extremely positive.

“He has not said one thing that’s negative,’’ said Dr. Nicholas Namias, a trauma Surgeon and Ryder co-director. “He’s really just sort of living in the moment.”

“He’s had quite a bit or surgery  and has quite a bit more to go,’’ said Namias, who noted that “he’s getting a host of benefits now that he wasn’t getting before. Of course, I don’t think he’d have traded this awful event for the benefits … He’s just happy with where he’s at and what’s going on for him is OK.’’

“I’ve never used this word to describe someone before,’’ Namias said, “but he’s charming. He really is .’’

 This is just the beginning for the former homeless man as there is much more to do as his face still is a mangled scabby mess.  His spirits are well and it’s quite an inspiring story…to not let life make you bitter after such an event..

Doctors have talked reconstructive surgery with Ronald, but he says they’re taking it one day  at a time….

Amen..
