One thing she does remember is that she always feared Travis, Nash said. I don't want to wake up with nightmares (about that day)." "They told me that if I do start remembering or getting flashbacks, they have medicine that will help me with that. "I don't remember anything, and I told the doctor that I don't want to remember because I can imagine what it was like," Nash said. Nash said she doesn't remember anything from the attack, and she's told doctors that exactly the way she wants to keep it. "I figure, it's easier if I just cover it up." "(I wear it) so I don't scare people," she said. She wears a veiled-hat but more out of courtesy for others than anything else. Though it may not appear so by the sight of her injuries, Nash says she's not in any pain. Nash said she agreed to the interview and to reveal her extensive injuries because with her newfound strength came a willingness to raise awareness about the dangers of exotic animals in residential homes. In response to Nash's interview, Herold's attorney issued a statement, saying, "All of Sandy's hopes and prayers are with Charla and her daughter in this challenging time.Sandy hopes and prays for a speedy recovery." The Nash family is suing Herold for $50 million and plans to seek an additional $150 million from the state. Herold has speculated that Travis went wild because he didn't recognize Nash, who wore a new hairstyle and was driving a different car. ![]() Nash had been called on by the chimp's owner, Sandra Herold, to help lure Travis back into her home on Rockrimmon Road in Stamford. Doctors rebuilt Nash's tongue, which adds some normalcy to her speech, and reattached her thumb to what remains of her right hand. Her nose, which doctors graphed from a muscle in her leg, now bulges from her swollen face. The pleasant smile that circulated the country in pictures of Nash before the attack now looks something like a crooked slit with a small opening, where she's fed food through a straw. Now, fluid leaks from the sockets where her eyeballs used to be before doctors removed them. Her deformed face is a far cry from the bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked appearance she previously had.
