Elizabeth Cole pulled the bandage from the
side of her throat Thursday afternoon, revealing the stitches in the
lower left part of her neck.
Somehow, the bullet missed the transgender
woman’s major arteries. The doctors told her that some muscles in her
neck “caught” the bullet, and it could be difficult to extract.
The 43-year-old Henderson resident said she
isn’t sure when or whether the bullet will be removed. As Cole spoke,
every now and then she winced and reached toward her wound.
For the past six years, the Navajo woman has
been transitioning. In an interview Thursday with the Las Vegas
Review-Journal, Cole showed a range of emotions, but a single recurring
feeling was one of incredulity to be alive.
