Over the weekend, Kyle Dyer, the KUSA TV anchor who was bitten in the face by a dog last week, described the details of her reconstructive surgery. “After a 4 hour surgery, I have 70 stitches in my upper lip, lower lip and nose,” Dyer reportedly wrote on her Facebook page. “I am unable to talk because my mouth is stitched shut to allow for the skin graft to take and get the blood circulating in my lips again.” She said she will have to undergo another procedure in the next few weeks.
Update: 2/14/2012 — A report on KUSA last night showed a copy of the dog’s vaccination certificate. Presumably that charge against the owner will be dropped.
Glad she’s mending.
So am I. The surgery sounded far more extensive than I’d imagined.
