On a recent trip to Las Vegas, comedian Howie Mandel and his wife Terry had quite a scare. After having a bit too much fun at a party, Terry accidentally walked into a wall and fell down in the middle of the night, hurting herself badly.
Howie shared the story on a talk show, “Live with Kelly and Mark”. He admitted they partied a lot that night. Terry got a bit tipsy and in the middle of the night got up and hit a wall. She then fell and hit some wood paneling, hurting her eye and breaking her cheekbone.
Howie heard the noise and found Terry on the floor, really hurt and bleeding a lot. He was worried and quickly tried to help her, using nearby towels.
When his wife asked for ice, Howie did not know where to find some, so he used a can of soda on her head to ease the pain. But he got a bigger scare when she moved the soda and he saw her actual skull cut.
Very quickly, he rushed her to the hospital where she received treatment. Luckily, Terry recovered fully from her injuries and is doing well now, with no scars at all. Howie says she is beautiful and perfect.
