Wow! This is amazing. Two men were working on a lattice in the backyard and the nail gun went off. When they wondered where the nail went, one of the men said he felt a sting on his head. Sure enough, there was the nail, embedded in his skull! When they rushed him to the hospital, the doctors used a claw hammer to pull the nail back out. It apparently hit a portion of his brain that left him uninjured! If it had entered just a millimeter lower, the nail could have left him paralyzed or caused serious damage to his speech or eyesight. Wow! Can you imagine?

He was a very lucky man! I am glad that he is ok. I would freak if my husband came in and told me that he had a nail in his skull.

Talk about a miracle! That man is lucky. I would have freaked out if that had of happened to me or my husband. Crazy things like that happen all of the time though.

Wow that is one amazing story. Someone up there might have been looking out for him. He is one lucky dude. I might get sick or lose consciousness if I see something like that happen to someone I know. But if that happens to me, I shall keep that nail that almost damaged me just to remind me of a miracle that happened in my life.
