DENVER - As she continues her recovery, 9NEWS morning anchor Kyle Dyer released a statement on Facebook on Tuesday.
Kyle had her second surgery on Monday after a dog bit her in the face on live television on Feb. 8.
Here is Kyle's statement:
"Hello friends -
Thank you again for all of the well wishes and prayers. It's amazing how you all are rallying to send so much love my way. I can't express enough how much I appreciate all the notes and emails!!!!
The big news is that I can talk again! I can also eat again (sans the straw). Happy Fat Tuesday!
I went back to the operating room Monday. All of the old stitches were taken out..... and about 20 new ones are now in the inside of my lips.
So happy that the skin graft worked! Thanks soo much to the fabulous team at Denver Health!!!
I'm still more or less house-bound .. so I've opened up all the windows. I hope you're enjoying the day as well.
Love, Kyle"
