And now Rebekah is leaving her injury behind once and for all; after 17 major surgeries in 18 months to try and save it, she is having her leg amputated.
But what we love best about this woman is her sense of humor in the face of adversity, and she’s never shown it more than at this moment.
Rebekah responded to the moment that would devastate so many others by taking to Facebook and writing this poignant Dear John letter… to her leg (below)!

“Hey it’s me.
I’m sure it won’t come as a shock to you when I say that we’ve grown apart. The love that we once had has dwindled, and this relationship has become a real burden on my life. We have been through a lot together. We have seen a lot of places, done a lot of things, and you have helped me through some of the toughest steps thus far. I promise to always treasure that. And I’m not saying this isn’t hard for me. It is. But as tough as it may be, I feel like our time together has come to an end. I need to feel everyday that by having a relationship with you, I am becoming a better person. And for a long while now, I haven’t felt like that. Instead, I feel like you are holding me back from really reaching my full potential. Now I get this is probably pretty tough to hear me say, but I have never lied to you and I don’t plan to start now. What I need is something you can’t give me anymore. And the empathy that you require, I can no longer handle. I love you. I really do. But I think I need to start on the next leg of my journey. So with that said, I have enclosed a gift certificate that I hope you will use. Go get yourself one last pedicure on me and enjoy it because tomorrow…I will be cutting you out of my life for good.
Wishing you the best wherever you end up,
Rebekah”

Wow. We’re not sure what’s more impressive: her sense of courage or her sense of humor!
