The Canadian Press, 27 May, 2016 11:31 AM

WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg lawyer who lost her hand in a letter bombing last summer is slowly easing back into work.

Maria Mitousis says she continues to recover and hopes to be back at work full-time in the fall.

Many of the scars on her face and neck have healed but she is still adjusting to life without her right hand.

Mitousis says she is making progress.

She says she is amazed and grateful for all of the support she receives from complete strangers.

Guido Amsel is in custody and faces numerous attempted murder charges.
