Nash who turned 56 Tuesday revealed “the remnants of her missing eyes, nose and lips,” as ABC News described it.
Nash told Oprah that 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,” ABC added.
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 says she wears the veil “so I don’t scare people. And sometimes other people might insult you.”
