Yes

Explanation:

Wanda can recover from her personal injury as long as the cells of her body are still capable of dividing through mitosis.

Mitosis is important for growth, wound healing and development of the body. It involves the division of the vegetative cells of the body. The old cells in the injury site die off and get replaced by new, actively dividing cells. This continues until the entire region of the injury has completely healed.

The process of division around the injured area can be stimulated so as to hasten the healing process.
