Hi honey, how was your day?
Fine, dear, except for that steel rod stuck in my head.
A Chinese builder has miraculously survived after being speared through the head by a steel rod that plunged three inches into his skull.
Xu Jianguo, 35, was working on a building site in Chongqing City when the bar feel from the ninth floor and struck him.
It speared through his safety helmet into his brain.
Colleagues of Mr Jianguo heard him cry out but thought he had simply slipped and fallen - until they saw the bar wedged in his head.
He was taken to hospital where an x-ray revealed the rod had wedged three inches into his skull, leaving another four foot of the bar sticking out of his head.
Firemen had to cut the bar away using industrial cutters. Surgeons then performed four hours of emergency surgery to remove the bar. Dr Li Cheng, who was on the operating team, said: "Luckily the brainstem was intact.
