Christa Pike , who survived Tennessee’s attempt to execute her by lethal injection last month, is speaking out for the first time, saying she is recovering, “but healing is not the same as being okay.”
“There hasn’t been a moment since that night when I haven’t been in pain. My body hurts. My arms hurt. My hands hurt. My throat hurts. I still struggle to speak,” Pike said in a statement dictated to her attorneys. “And the pain isn’t just physical. There is pain in my mind and in my soul.”
Pike was hospitalized after she survived two doses of pentobarbital as the state attempted to execute her on Sept. 30 for the 1995 beating and stabbing death of classmate Colleen Slemmer . At one point she was on a ventilator and her attorneys did not expect her to survive. However, they said Pike woke up and began talking and walking with assistance.

上个月，田纳西州试图对克丽斯塔·派克执行注射死刑，她侥幸活了下来。如今，她首次公开表示自己正在康复，“但康复并不等同于一切都好”。
“自从那天晚上之后，我无时无刻不在承受痛苦。我的身体疼痛，手臂疼痛，双手疼痛，喉咙疼痛。我至今说话仍然很困难，”派克在一份口述给律师的声明中说道。“而且这种痛苦不仅仅是身体上的，我的精神和灵魂也备受煎熬。”
9月30日，州检察官试图对派克执行死刑，原因是她于1995年殴打并刺死了同学科琳·斯莱默。派克在被注射两剂戊巴比妥钠后奇迹般地活了下来，随后被送往医院。她一度需要依靠呼吸机维持生命，她的律师认为她活不了多久。然而，他们表示，派克醒了过来，并在他人搀扶下开始说话和行走。
