I'm home! Hurray! And as it turns out, injured, sick and apparently, really stupid.
One. My back hurts. This is nothing new. Old car accident injury acting up again. Hurray! I get to have some 17-year-old electrocute me with little sticky paddles!
Two. I've got a fever and what-have-you this time of year. The only person I knew was sick was Asmar and I wasn't really seated near her at any point. The HELL, man?
Three. Saturday night. I was eating a piece of mango flavored licorice and I happened to sneeze. This resulting in turning a piece of licorice traveling down my throat into a projectile headed the opposite way and lodging itself up my nose. A lot higher than these things normally lodge themselves. I waited for the snot to get it and as I was waiting, it started to really hurt. Really, REALLY HURT! Then the snot got it and it slid a little to a more bearable position.
The night continued. Around 530am or 6am, I awoke to find myself in desperate amounts of pain again. I said, "screw it" along with some other expletives and drove myself to the emergency, located not very far from my house. After an embarrassing conversation with the Triage nurse, and another embarrassing one with the doctor, a flash light was shone up my nose, followed by some saline solution, i would assume, which did nothing and then a long curved tweezer which painfully removed the orange blood and snot covered piece of licorice.
It turns out, the murderous licorice projectile managed to lodge itself a lot higher than it normally wold have because it was soft at the moment of swallowing and while clogging up my sinus, hardened. The lesson learned, licorice is EVIL!
