\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tEvangeline Lilly is showing the extent of her facial injuries after fainting and hitting a boulder at the beach. \u201cI fainted at the beach.

Lilly went on to reveal how she [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cNow, my job is to get to the bottom of that with the doctors, and then embark on the hard work of fixing it,\u201d the actress<\/a> said on Friday. \u201cI don\u2019t look forward to it because I feel, like, hard work is all I do. That\u2019s OK, my cognitive decline since I smashed my face open has helped me to slow down and helped me to have a more restful finished 2025.\u201d<\/p>\nAccording to Lilly, the end of year featured \u201cthe most restful\u201d holiday season she\u2019s ever had over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a good thing,\u201d she added. \u201c[I\u2019m] feeling extraordinarily grateful and blessed to be able to play one more day, one more year on this beautiful living planet. That is my concussion update<\/a>. Thank you all for caring.\u201d<\/p>\nIn the caption of her social media update, Lilly confirmed that she had been searching for medical answers for a while after her injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cComforting to know my cognitive decline isn\u2019t just peri-menopause, discomforting to know what an uphill battle it will be to try to reverse the deficiencies,\u201d Lilly wrote on Friday. \u201cThank you all for always asking, for always caring, and for your continued prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Lilly works toward recovery, she has the support of her celebrity friends.<\/p>\n

We hope to visit soon! Ke aloha nui.\u201d<\/p>\nLilly revealed in May 2025 that she sustained injuries falling \u201cface-first into a boulder.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n

\u201cI fainted at the beach, and fell face first into a boulder,\u201d she wrote via Instagram<\/a> at the time. \u201cAt the hospital, the nurses and doctor went straight into action, more determined to find the cause of my blackout than to stitch up the hole punctured into my face by the rock. I smiled wryly at them. \u2018You won\u2019t find anything.\u2019 I said with a woozy voice.\u201d<\/p>\nWeeks later, Lilly faced a setback in her recovery process.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, my concussion took a downturn. I have been up on my feet for over a week, but I overdid it this weekend,\u201d she wrote in a June 14, 2025, social media update<\/a>. \u201ctoo much manual labor out in the punishing Hawaii heat. \ud83e\udd75<\/span>Too much in general for someone on the mend from a big head injury. So, it\u2019s back to bed rest for a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
