Notice Anything Strange About This Story??

Apparently, he married a two-year-old!!

A grandfather who was stabbed by a discarded syringe while working at a recycling centre faces an anxious wait to find out whether he has caught any diseases from the needle.

But although Ray Wood, 58, will not get the all-clear for at least year, he has returned to his job as a supervisor at the Norfolk Environmental Waste Services (NEWS) recycling centre at Costessey.

Six weeks ago Mr Wood, from Sutton, went to pick up a plastic bottle which was in the wrong waste stream, when he felt the needle come through his glove and prick the side of his right hand.

Since then, he has been treated by the firm's occupational health department and given double strength injections for Hepatitis and several blood tests, but he still faces an agonising wait

Mr Wood's wife Sandra, 40, who he has been married to for 38 years, said: “I'm angry that people could put their syringes in the recycling like that - it just beggars belief. It could have quite serious consequences but we just have to take it as it comes, whether the results are.”
