Rudy Noorlander, 61, put his newly constructed lower jaw and unthinkably positive attitude on display five weeks after he was critically injured by a 10-foot-fall grizzly bear
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT A Montana hunter who lost his lower jaw in 'the most disgusting French kiss of his life' with a grizzly bear showcased his reconstructed face and boundless optimism at a press conference Friday, saying he 'will win Round 2' should he and the animal ever meet again. Rudy Noorlander's jaw and lower lip were reconstructed using his lower leg bone and transplanted skin during a 10-hour surgery on Sept. 28 – he was also fitted with dental implants.
The bear surprised Noorlander, and he was unable to deploy his bear spray. Although he attempted to shoot the animal, per The Associated Press, Noorlander misfired. Several hours after the attack, a rescue helicopter retrieved the critically injured man, The Associated Press reported. At Bozeman Health Deaconess Regional Medical Center, staff fashioned an airway through his trachea, allowing him to breathe despite his injuries.
Asked why he wanted to share this story, Noorlander told reporters that 'only by the hands of God am I here.' 'Believe it or not, I believe that this attack was an answer to my prayers and that potentially it could help somebody else going through something similar,' he said. Noorlander still has a small wound under his chin that needs to heal, McCrary said, and is working toward being able to eat without risking infection. 'And maybe if he's really lucky, we'll have a root beer float waiting for in room,' the surgeon joked.
