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.

Road trip yesterday to the Mighty Mac (Mackinac Bridge connecting the Lower Peninsula to the Upper Peninsula here in Michigan). I stopped for lunch over the bridge in St. Ignace (I had the walleye), to a couple of lighthouses, a smoked fish store (I bought a TON, it freezes well and it's a third of the price up there as down here), then to buy Mackinac Island fudge and ice cream cones in Mackinaw City. The trip was with my family as an early birthday celebration, I will be 50 this month. A long day, it is 4 hours up there and 4 hours back, 5 hours spent sightseeing, but I did get in my steps and I didn't overeat. That's me in the last pic, third from the right. Have a happy day everyone!
