"For the past 14 years, former volunteer firefighter Patrick Hardison, whose face was burned off in a 2001 fire, has been living in his own personal hell.
"My kids were scared to death of me," he told ABC's Nightline. "You can't blame them. They're young kids."
Now – thanks to an Aug. 14 face transplant at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City – Hardison, 41, is almost back to the way he looked before a fire burnt off his eyelids, scalp, ears and lips and melted his face.
"I went to Macy's to get clothes and I was just another guy, nobody is staring," he told Nightline. "I wasn't scaring any kids. It's just – it's very emotional to have that." *
