BULLET EMERGES FROM HIDING AFTER 21 YEARS


This is one childhood memory that has surfaced quite unexpectedly.A woman has coughed up an air rifle pellet-21 years after she was shot in the face.Sue Allaker's brother Craig accidentally fired the up her nose in 1985 at their home in Hull,East Yorkshire,UK.Twenty one years later,it has emerged again from 'hiding'.Says Allaker,"I coughed up a round ball.I took it to the kitchen,not wanting my family to see,only to find it was the pellet my brother shot me with all those years ago."Doctors believe the pellet,not picked up on X rays ,became lodged behind a piece of bone.It hid there for over two decades till sue coughed it up.This childhood accident 'misfired' what shall we say?
