Chicago, Nov 12 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Connecticut inhabitant Charla Nash who was attacked by a chimpanzee and is now severely disfigured has finally opened up and revealed her injuries on national television, in Oprah Winfrey’s show.

Charla Nash allowed Oprah Winfrey to take off her hat and veil when she came on Wednesday’s to her show. The attack happened in mid-February and has severely affected Charla Nash as now she is without her hands, nose, lips and sight. “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.”

I don’t even think about it,” Charla told Oprah. “And there’s no time for that anyways because I need to heal, you know, not look backwards. I want to get healthy. I don’t want to wake up with nightmares.”

On the show she talked about being blind, having to eat her meals through a straw and not being able to breathe through her nose. But despite it all, Nash is very positive as she said that she isn’t angry and is instead focused on healing, not looking back at what happened.

However she does have some regrets in life and surprisingly they are not about herself but about her daughter. She is not able to spend more time with her daughter, who is a high school senior, and not being able to help her pick out an exotic prom dress.
