Celebrity astrologer/columnist Georgia Nicols (aka Leigh, Nana, Chubs,
tl, sis, the cobbler, el presidente, Marilyn, Leight and my
mother-in-law, the rare medium) is on the mend after undergoing a recent
operation at Victoria General Hospital.

Ms. Nicols (who refers to herself as Astro Sex Diva) had surgery to put
pins in her left wrist, which was smashed as she tried vainly to escape
the frenzied attack by an angry black duck. 

Yes folks, truth is stranger than fiction.

Late Sunday afternoon, in the darkening light with a faint rainfall, Ms.
Nicols was attempting (most uncharacteristically) to walk/jog along the
Gorge walkway in this fair capital city.

Suddenly, she felt something swoop noisily from the sky brushing her
hair. Before she could even grasp what was happening, a huge black bird
(wings spread open to a three to four foot span) began attacking her
feet and legs. Alarmed she tried to kick it away but to no avail. She
shouted and kicked, then attempted to run away.  But the attacking
marauder was relentless. She stumbled, got up and ran but the bird was
constantly between her legs and always pecking. She yelled for help but
no one was there. 

She continued to stumble and fall, twice losing her left shoe. Then the
creature went for her shoeless foot, forcing her to go back for her
shoe. She used to try to beat the bird off, but nothing phased this
creature, and the fierce attack continued. She fell once again, this
time breaking her left wrist. Mucho pain. This bird was in a life or
death struggle or so it seemed. 

In an attempt to get help, she ran to the road where she fell again,
this time the bird on top of her and the first passing motorist
screeched to a halt. Two people jumped out and pulled the duck off of
her. (For it was indeed a black domestic duck.)

They kindly drove her to her mother's home. Now shock set in  -
fainting, chills and extreme nausea. Her quick thinking sister called an
ambulance and Georgia was taken to emergency. She had scrapes and
lacerations to both knees and her left elbow. Her pants were ripped in
numerous places. She was immediately given a tetanus shot. 

Sine this note is going out to two nurses, you will appreciate the
difficulty the nurse had in finding a vein for the IV drip (for
Demerol). In her state of shock, Georgia's veins had disappeared! Hot
towels etc helped the situation but it took over 15 minutes and
considerable cussing on the part of the nurse, to find a vein without a
valve in the way. (ugh)

X-rays revealed that the bone was shattered because of a similar break
in this wrist 8 years earlier. An operation the following day was deemed
necessary to put pins in.

Although this was the most terrifying and horrible experience that Ms
Nicols has undergone in her life - the proper sympathy was never
forthcoming. Instead bad duck jokes trivialized the event. Being a good
sport, Ms Nicols naturally joined in. (e.g. If she pressed charges would
that be a pressed duck?)

Ms. Nicols is now resting in the comfort of her mother's home,
resplendent in her purple, fibre glass cast and wants her dear friends
to know that she needs understanding sympathy - not jokes!!

(By the time of the operation the next day, the duck story prceeded her
arrival wherever she went: Astrologer Mugged by Duck)

Your notes and cards of sympathy may be sent to 210 - 75 Gorge Road
West, Victoria, B.C. V9A 7A9. 

Georgia's all-heart and full-of-caring sister Bette has generously and
selflessly taken vacation days from work to type columns while Georgia
dictates. (What a gal!)

And so it goes…..
