Matt Picarelli had to get 50 stitches at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital after a shark bit his leg while surfing at Pepper Beach Park.
"It was a big animal next to me coming towards me and then, once it bit me, it took a chomp out of my foot and it just immediately left and just flew away, like so quick," Matt Picarelli recalled. "Everything happening so quickly, it didn't feel real at all. It felt very surreal."
"It was bleeding everywhere too, so I had a whole bunch of strangers helping me out, giving me water, putting pressure on the wound," he said. "Fifty stitches, broken tendon, chipped the bone. Yeah, it was - didn't look good." "Every night I've been having nightmares about it," he said. "I'm having sharks, whether I'm in the water or even in a room, coming towards me and biting my leg, biting my arm, biting my side, biting something, and attacking me."
Matt Picarelli, 36, can smile now that he's recovering after being bitten by a shark while surfing at Pepper Park Beach. "I feel like I always have a positive mind. I'm optimistic," he said. "To every surfer, they know there's a danger of sharks and them being out there. We're in their house, essentially."
