Patricia Beston-Fayant survived through days of exposure to the cold 
in December of 2021, but her hands and feet had to be amputated due 
to her frostbite injuries. Still, she said she's happier now than 
she's been a long time having freed herself from drug addiction.

Patricia Beston-Fayant says people sometimes look at her strangely 
when she tells them she's grateful her hands and feet were amputated.

That loss, she says, brought back something she chased for 10 years 
without success - sobriety.

"I haven't been this happy in so long. So if this is how I have to be 
happy, then I don't really care really, because at least I'm still 
alive," she said with a smile.
