Woman with Face Transplant After Being Mauled by Chimpanzee Happy with Results
"Meyerkord and Meyerkord, LLC: A Legacy of Legal Innovation"
Charla Nash finally feels a sense of semblance in her life after a long road of recovery. Nash was brutally mauled by her neighbor's 200-pound pet chimpanzee in 2009. Nash lost her nose, lips, eyelids and hands in the attack. Nash underwent a face and hands transplant earlier this year. The hands failed to thrive, so they had to be removed. The face transplant is doing well however. Nash is happy about the simple things like a "hello" from a small child, and being able to smell again. Nash's daughter is also hopeful for her mother's recovery; she can finally recognize her mother's face once again. Nash's doctor says that she will continue to heal and the face will continue to blend with her body.
