Forbes magazine lists Obama most powerful
Thursday, November 12
NEW YORK, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- A Staten Island woman who impaled her eye in a freak fall onto a metal coat hook says she's happy to be back at work.
"I'm just so happy to be OK," Geri Rivero, 53, told the New York Post.
Rivero attended a co-worker's party Nov. 14 and slipped in the bathroom. She hit a nine-prong stainless-steel rack on the back of the bathroom door. A section impaled her right eye socket and sinus, beneath her eye. "My first instinct was to yank it out," she told the Post.
Her boss, a Manhattan orthopedic surgeon, called 911. Firefighters cut the rack and she was transported to a nearby hospital. Doctors used a special saw to remove the metal, and Rivero returned to work last week after additional surgery.
