I read somewhere that they figure it was a rat snake. They don't think it was venomous. It would have been a fatal encounter for me. I would have had a heart attack.
This all makes perfect sense to me, living as I do around snakes and hawks. What doesn't make sense to me is the "grace of God" part. I mean- why did God let the hawk drop the snake on the woman in the first place?
A black snake once fell on my husband. It was lying on top of the root cellar doorway, and fell when he opened the door. We are pretty tolerant of black snakes usually, but this time, according to my husband, the snake did not survive the incident.
Texas women are kinder than I am. I would have fought back with four letter words. But I cannot imagine unwrapping a four foot snake while a hawk attacked.
Oh lordy lordy lordy - that is the new bar for "a bad day"!

ReplyDeleteI don't question the beliefs of others as long as they don't try to force those beliefs on me.
DeleteI love that the doctor asked her if she was on drugs. 😆
ReplyDeleteHappy to live in the city, no snakes.

ReplyDeleteHorrible and funny at the same time, as long as it wasn't me.
ReplyDeleteEek!!😲
ReplyDeleteYIKES!!!! Talk about the "golden BB"......................
ReplyDeleteI had to look up 'golden BB' theory, Jim. Thanks for the new idea.

DeleteWho wouldn't assume she was on drugs with a story like that! OMG! This will be something I won't forget anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteI’ve just heard this on radio 4
ReplyDeleteHow funny
Holy shit. That's CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteI can't blame the doctor for asking if she was on drugs. I'll bet everyone who works in that hospital has heard this story by now!
You couldn't make it up! Good grief - poor woman.
