Went for a usual checkup yesterday. They drew blood & he upped one of my meds. Nothing out of the ordinary. Will call w/blood results.
Today, my phone rings, I look &i t says Doctor. I answer in a slightly guarded voice, & the woman on the other end sounds like she's crying. Confusion. She says is this gunzo? sniff. Voice still just a bit guarded with increasing confusion says, this is he.
Sniff sniff,, voice quivering says we've got got your blood results, sniff, sniff, &,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, they're OK.
I'm sorry for what ever had just happened to her right before she called me........ but DAMMIT!
I didn't think I was scared of checking out, but something in my chest & gut sure made a flop & flutter today.
My heart goes out to those that get such a call for real.

I just heard from a friend of mine who I'd seen last night. He's in the hospital now being prepped for surgery. Seems that he had Costco's chicken nuggets for lunch and one's stuck half way down his esophagus. It's ugly but it sure beats it being stuck in his wind pipe.

Choking on chicken nugget would be a hell of a way to go.

Maybe the gal that called you had a bad head cold. Your imagination took over and it's off to the races!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Head cold, broke a nail, considering the species, it's very possible. But I don't think I'm that paranoid,,,,,,,,,,,,yet. Of course I had it on speaker phone as I don't hear well. Wife heard it too, said WTF was that. She was counting the cash.

Choking on chicken nugget would be a hell of a way to go. He didn't choke. It was in his esophagus, not his wind pipe. For some reason it didn't go all the way down. They got it out and he's fine.
