“I was hit in five places, one less than an inch from hitting me directly with my right eye,” she wrote. “Unfortunately, the fragment remains behind my eyes and is too dangerous for surgically removal at this time. My doctor will continue to monitor me (it looks normal at this time).”
In the video, Romano thanked the first responders and doctors who treated her. She also urged fans to thank them for their health.
“I, as I say, I was shot in the face and lived to tell stories,” Romano said. “Please be grateful every day.”
