MYFOXNY.COM - Charla Nash, the Connecticut woman who was attacked by a 200-pound chimpanzee in Stamford, went on the "Oprah Winfrey Show" to talk about her ordeal and also reveal her disfigured face to the public.
"I don't even think about it," Nash said on Wednesday's episode of Winfrey's show. "And there's no time for that anyways because I need to heal, you know, not look backwards."
She said she didn't remember anything about the February attack.

Nash told Winfrey that she is blind, eats through a straw, and has only partial use of her mauled hands. She hopes to get a face and hand transplant in the future.
Nash was attacked by her friend's pet chimpanzee back on Feb. 16, 2009. The attack happened at the home of the animal's owner, Sandra Herold. Nash is now suing Herold.
The chimp ripped off Nash's hands, nose, lips and eyelids.
Police responded to a 911 call and shot and killed the animal.
Nash toled the AP that she repeatedly warned her friened, who owned the chimp, that it was dangerous.
