Here I am, back amongst the living...
For those of you who have not heard the saga of the grape rainblo gum that got lodged in my lung.... here goes!
I choked on a piece of grape rainblow bubble gum and it got sucked into my left lung blocked air from getting into said lung - technically aspirated pneumonia. So I went to the hospital Thursday and on Friday afternoon I underwent a bronchoscopy (sp???) where the doctor people put something - I think it was tube-shaped - down my throat and into my lung to power-wash said chunk o' gum to the bottom of my lung where I think a little piece of it still lies. That's really it. I'm all full up with steroids and antibiotics and other junky stuff and I now know that I have a heart murmur, but I'm me again. A little oogy, a tad wheezey and ready for a 13 day nap.
So... what did you do this weekend?
ps - and yes, the nickname "gummy lungs" is already taken
pps - no, I do not blow bubbles when I breathe
