This is Charla Nash almost one year after she was mauled by a 200 pound chimpanzee.l her face and share heartbreaking details on her life since the attack. Nash who turned 56 Tuesday revealed the remnants of her missing eyes, nose and lips, Nash says she feels no pain but that she tries not to touch her face so as to avoid knowing the full extent of her injuries."I don't ask a whole lot about my injuries... I know that I have my forehead," she said. She now drinks her meals with a straw through a small hole where her mouth used to be. Nash lost both her hands in the attack, as well as her nose, an eyelid, and lips. Doctors removed her eyes due to an infection, and only recently did she learn she'll no longer be able to see.
Nash now walks around her Cleveland hospital — from which she might be released soon — in a veil. She is happy to be alive! I give her a lot of credit, I don't know if I would feel the same way!
