LOL - yeah, right. gotta be more to the "story" than that.
Well that's gross...When I first read the topic heading I thought maybe she was brushing her nose hairs... 
I can't imagine any circumstance where you'd misplace a toothbrush up your snozz, really I can't.
toothbrush up nose?
I am constantly amazed at the stories owlscrying gets for us. LMAO
Must've been a very cheap toothbush...
my suspicion of wife abuse 
Here's the rest of the article:
"I was left holding the lower portion of the brush but couldn't locate the rest of it. Soon after, I started bleeding profusely from the nose.
"But since that day, I began getting breathless and a foul-smelling discharge began to come out of my nose. I used to get restless gasping for breath sometimes."
Dr Kaushal Sheth, who performed the surgery, said: "The odour from her nose was so bad that it could be smelt from a distance of two feet. If the object had fallen into her windpipe, she could have choked to death."
I mean, really.... you know the toothbrush broke, you know it went up your nose.... what's the logical conclusion???
And then waiting days, possibly weeks, with bloody noses, breathing problems, and odor, before getting it checked out???
Seriously, I didn't think people could BE that stupid.....or, as someone suggested, a possible case of abuse with the husband not letting her get medical treatment.... who knows?

There is something sinister about this story ya know.
One basic question... When it broke up her snout, did she not wonder where it went when she came to brush her teeth again - or did she just decide to accumulate plaque?
Bizarre example of spouse abuse... IMO
