You saved your scene with boolean history, that's a common mistake with beginners, you can't do that...just go back and open one of your earlier files.

It's not possible to recover a mb file, just start over again, I'm sure the model will be better a second time, you will learn more from it, read the differences about Maya files, enable incremental save ,use back ups and clean your history.
