God what an awful story, I feel so sorry for the poor woman.
Charla Nash, the woman whose face and hands were ripped off in a brutal chimpanzee attack, has revealed how she is struggling to rebuild her life four years on. In a moving interview, the 60-year-old revealed that she has no independence at her Massachusetts nursing home, where none of her fellow residents come near her. 'Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot I can do,' she told the Boston Herald. 'I've lost so much independence... I could change my own truck tire, and now I can’t even feed myself.'
Nash's life forever changed in 2009 when she was attacked by a friend's chimp, Travis, in Stamford, Connecticut. She remembers none of the attack that claimed her eyes, nose, lips and hands. In 2011, she underwent a full face transplant at Brigham and Women’s Hospital - the hospital's third - and was fitted with glass eyes. A hand transplant was unsuccessful.
