And I just, I think I just started wailing, you know, I was like, oh my God.

And then they did major surgery and my surgeons were incredible because it has healed so well.

God, because, you know, you'd be so self-conscious of it.

And then people are like, wait, what?

Yeah.

Because there's a picture of it from the trial and it literally, my face is wide open.

I mean, I remember waking up the next day after the surgery and it, that really, it really hit me.

And I felt, I felt so bad for the other people.

Like it was a ward that I was in and I was bawling my eyes out, like sobbing my heart out.

And my cousin was there and, and, and she had been stabbed in the arm.

Otherwise, you know, that's sorry.

I was going to say, otherwise she's okay.

Like she's obviously not okay.

um and she was amazing and she kind of just held my hand through that and then so I had a big bandage on my face yeah and I had to keep that in for I think a week and then I went to get the stitches out after a week and that was really hard as well and the whole experience I remember insisting that I go home on my own afterwards I don't know why yeah and I sat in my apartment sounds like

like it's almost like an assertion that you're fine yeah I think it's like I'm okay I don't need help yeah I'm fine I'm good like I just need some time and I remember sitting in the apartment of my own looking sitting on my bed and there's like a wardrobe mirror across me and just going my life is over like my life is over I'm destroyed like I'm never gonna 21 like yeah and I just thought I don't know how I'm gonna get through this yeah I don't know how like and I just it was very dark um but I don't know why as well I was like I'm gonna go back to work

it's fine like none of these things I properly dealt with and I think that's probably why I've been finding publicity like in my mind a big mountain um but actually it's been great thanks to people like you being so sound and being like really nice in interviews but um yeah so that's kind of that's what that's what happened and then in the years after I'm so lucky that I've good skin and I heal it's healed amazing yeah beautiful skin thank you um

And yeah, I think that I adopted a let's get on with life thing and I'm fine because look, I'm great.

And then like I'm grand.

And then, oh my God, like you think after 15 years that you've dealt with something and then you go to talk about it.

No, it's so,
