Well, now. Swallowed a fork, did we? Nice Xray.

Really, that's about right for the lie of the stomach ( upper abdomen, left to right), and for a long, rigid foreign body in same. It won't make the next turn into the very twisty duodenum, so it's stuck there. If she's lucky, the tines of the fork didn't poke holes in anything vital.

No doubt, it was removed endoscopically (no cutting/surgery), so she can go back to bug-hunting when she desires.
