Sorry, I don't enunciate well sometimes. I said 'operating theatre' not 'failure,' fortunately. 'Surgery' probably would've been the better word to choose.

In terms of long-term damage, the injury also irreparable damaged a main nerve in her left cheek. As a result, the area around that cheek/mouth is permanently numb and she can't move it as well as she used to. There's a also minor 'stroke-like' (for lack of a better phrase) drooping on that side of the face. It's nothing major, it's the kind of thing that's not even noticeable nowadays. Not to me, anyway. But I know she is slightly self-conscious of it.

But apart from that she is all good.
