SURGERY ENDS WOMAN'S 20-YEAR SOUP DIET
A woman forced eat soup and yoghurt for
20 years after a car accident is
looking forward to tucking into steak
and chips thanks to new surgery.
Linda Holroyd, of Dewsbury, sustained
severe facial injuries after being
thrown through a windscreen in 1977.
Damage to her skull left her unable to
eat normal food, but surgeons in
Wakefield are to build her a new jaw.
Now Linda wants to "tuck into a huge
meal of steak and chips. I can't wait".
