Pencil in Head

Pretty hair... :)

When she was 4, she fell while carrying a pencil. Yup, it went through her cheek, and into her head and remained their until this week. Now at 59, the pencil, which has been such a big part of her life, has been excavated from her head.

Of course, back then, she couldn't do much to remove the pencil. Now, with medicine and technology, they were able to remove it.

And now Wegner, the wife of German boxing coach Ulli Wegner, will no longer have the headaches and nosebleeds, and her sense of smell should also return soon, Behrbohm said.
