Tree goes through woman's throat and she survives

Looks pretty nasty.

Quote :

22-year-old Michelle Childers and her husband Daniel were taking a leisurely drive in the Idaho Mountains when Michelle was impaled in the NECK with a 13-inch spruce tree branch that crashed through one of their truck windows!

She was so shell-shocked she didn’t even immediately realize what had happened, asking her husband, “Where is it?”

Michelle’s life was saved after a 6-hour operation at St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Montana. She’s now at home recovering.

Another reason not to go hiking through the woods for fun. (The first one remains Lyme's disease).

OTOH neither staying at home looks safe.

Psh. That's nothing. I could survive much worse.

Well, thank God she's okay. That's all I can say.

I know, right? She should be utterly relieved that the wound didn't branch out any further, or else she'd have her life sapped right out of her. Such a brutal example of teakwondo... She is lucky the hospital could spruce her up right quick: now, at least, she has the chance to turn over a new leaf in her life.

You forgot to mention how her beloved ones would have pined over her loss.

Wow, that's pretty amazing. Good for her! That'll be a story to tell at teaparties. Wait, Saint Patrick Hospital, isn't that ... She's in Missoula, and this is the first I've heard of it?

I ought to watch more local news.
