A WOMAN who lost part of her vagina in a horrific accident has opened up about her miraculous recovery.

HORROR: Megan Torio was left with life-changing injuries after the abusive incident

Megan Torio suffered from a number of life-changing injuries after she was thrown from a truck travelling at 65mph by her abusive boyfriend.

The 28-year-old was left paralysed with doctors warning that she would never walk again.

As well as breaking a number of bones, she shockingly injured her vagina and half of her labia was sliced off meaning she couldn’t have sex for a year.

PHYSIO: Megan worked hard on her recovery

Megan said: "I was nervous about having sex again. I was done with men. I thought no man would be interested in me."

When Megan was thrown from the speeding van she slammed into a speed sign, breaking her spinal cord, shoulder, collar bone and slicing off her left labia.

She was also told that she'd broken six ribs – and if she'd broken another she'd have died.

The American beauty from Flordia had 18 hours of surgery to realign her back with metal rods as well as a separate procedure to construct her new labia.

PARALYSED: Megan was warned she'd never walk again

She 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. I was devastated.

"I'd been so independent so this was a big deal. I'd lost the use of my bowels and bladder and was given a catheter. I felt hopeless."

But now Megan finally has her sex drive back after meeting now-husband Ron, 38, and the pair are hoping to start a family.

Megan said: "Ron and I want children and I think we'll start trying for a family later this year.

"I've been humbled by this experience. I will live in chronic pain and I miss running and dancing in high heels, but I'm very happy to be alive. I could have died that day.

"I continue to get stronger and better every day."

ABUSE: Megan was thrown from a truck by an ex-boyfriend

She admitted she was so anxious about her first date with Ron that she almost cancelled – but luckily a friend persuaded her to go.

Megan explained: ”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."

From there, Megan went from strength to strength and regained the use of her bladder and bowels.

Then on her 25th birthday – just a year after she was told she'd never walk again - she decided to stop using her cane.

Megan said: ”We were going out to a restaurant to celebrate, and I wanted to walk on my own.

"It wasn't pretty, and I think you'd have been able to tell something was wrong but I woke up the morning of my birthday and decided I wouldn't use my cane any more."

And now Megan has made a complete recovery and you would never know what she has been through to look at her.

Reflecting on her ordeal, she said: "Miracles aren't handed to you on a silver plate, you have to work for them.

"I think I was in denial that I would never walk again and I think that's what got me to where I am now.

"After I was finally able to walk on my own, without a frame or cane, I went to see my surgeon and he was in tears.

"I believe in mind over matter and getting what you want."
