Default O/Tea - Woman makes cup of tea after being shot in head

Woman makes cup of tea after being shot in head
An American woman who was shot in the head by her husband not only
survived but made herself a cup of tea.

Police and doctors hailed the survival of Tammy Sexton, 47, as
miraculous after a bullet from a .38-calibre handgun struck her
squarely in the forehead, passed through her skull and exited through
the back of her head. She is expected to make a full recovery, while
her husband shot himself dead after the attack on his wife.

But law enforcement officers in Jackson County, Mississippi, were also
astonished that Mrs Sexton offered them tea when they arrived at her
home after the shooting.

Sheriff Mike Byrd said: "When the officer got there she said, 'What's
going on?' She was holding a rag on her head and talking. She was
conscious, but she was confused about what had happened.

"She had made herself some tea and offered the officer something to
drink.

"There's no way she should be alive other than a miracle from God. You
just don't hear of something like this. Somebody gets shot in the head
and they're dead."

He said that her husband had been on probation for domestic violence
and officers had been seeking to serve him with a court order
demanding he stayed away from his wife and their rural home.

He said the bullet apparently passed through the lobes of the woman's
brain without causing major damage. She was rushed to hospital by
helicopter where she has been monitored for three days.

Dr Patrick Pritchard, an assistant professor of surgery at the
University of Alabama-Birmingham, said: "There is a space in the brain
where a missile could pass without doing any major damage.

"Is it possible? Yes. It would be rare."

Of course for some this space is larger than for others, indeed I'd
wager that little short of a shotgun would give matua a headache

Still good on her - making a cup of tea after being shot in the head,
most people would have struggled to make instant coffee.

You can tell this news is from the South. Woman shot in the head is
proof that God exists and cares. Ah, where was he when the trigger was
pulled? Perhaps he looked the other way for a second and Satan took
control of the gun.
