After the surgery, Lindsay was in a cocoon of bandages. Dr. Scott Levin said while initial signs were good, there was still a possibility that her body could reject the transplants. "The first couple of days I refused to look at them," Lindsay said. "It was kind of like one of those scary movie moments. I'm too scared to look because it's reality." (ABC News)
