\u201cchronic cough\u201d<\/a> lasting over a month that she went to see a doctor.<\/p>\n\u201cThe only theory I have, which I told the pulmonologist, is that I fell asleep, the little ball fell out, and that was it,\u201d Deyanira told creatorzine.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was lying on my back, I didn\u2019t realize, and that\u2019s how I messed up.\u201d<\/p>\nMonica Deyanira Cabrera Barajas had a freak\u00a0medical accident where her nose ring got lodged deep within her lungs. @whoisbarajasx<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhat was supposed to be a routine 20-minute extraction turned into a high-stakes\u00a0medical procedure. During the initial attempt, surgeons were unable to budge the object because it had already begun attaching to her internal tissue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt ended up taking an hour and 20 minutes, and they still couldn\u2019t remove it because it was attached to my body,\u201d she said, according to the Jam Press report.<\/p>\n
Facing a second, more\u00a0invasive surgery\u00a0and the risk of a fatal hemorrhage, Deyanira prepared for the worst. The night before the surgery, she wrote a farewell letter to her loved ones.<\/p>\nIf the ring had punctured her lung or heart, Deyanira said she could have died from a lung collapse or perforated aorta. @whoisbarajasx<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI was honestly thinking, \u2018I\u2019m going to die,’\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a horror I wouldn\u2019t wish on anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman\u2019s surgeon was equally stunned by how close the metal was\u00a0to her heart. According to Deyanira, the doctor told her, \u201cIt seems God takes care of his creatures.\u201d<\/p>\n
If the metal had punctured her lung or heart before doctors discovered it, Deyanira said she likely would have died from a lung collapse or perforated aorta.<\/p>\nDeyanira said she loves piercings but she won\u2019t get a septum ring again. @whoisbarajasx<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNow, the TikToker says her days of septum rings<\/a> are over.<\/p>\n\u201cI love piercings, and I really liked my septum piercing, but in my case, I wouldn\u2019t get it again because of the terror I experienced,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Followers commented that the ordeal \u201cunlocked a fear\u00a0I didn\u2019t know I had.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
