Calamity of Catastrophe. I got a fish bone lodged in my throat and had to go to the local Emergency Room to get it out. I could feel it with my finger all the way down my throat, but they couldn't see it, so I had a CT scan to show where it was exactly. They were going to send me to the main hospital for anesthesia and surgery by an ENT specialist but there was a local surgeon on hand and he took a shot. I had to drink lidocaine numbing agent so they could pull my tongue out of the way with a device and he went at it with long forceps. He got it out, I am so thankful! It was buried in the base of my tongue around the corner and down my throat.

No need for the warning about eating fish, it is the first time this has happened to me in 50 years of eating the stuff. It was a Lake Trout bone from the smoked fish I bought when I went UP North for my birthday trip. It wasn't the fault of the fish, it was just a thing that happened.

I am very grateful for modern medical care. I may be less so when I get the bill? No, really, I am very grateful that I am not in surgery right now which would have been a lot more money and stress.
