Saturday left a little to be desired....

[CaberTosser]

I took Caber Junior to the barber where we traditionally get our ears lowered before grabbing an ice cream, and my barber buggered up; as a result I had to get completely shaved or look like a chemo patient; I opted for the shave. Then later on at dinner Mrs Caber had whipped up a beautiful rare roast beef and I attacked it with perhaps a bit too much zeal. I wound up getting a piece of roast lodged in my esophageal sphincter, which had happened to me once before about 15 years ago. Breathing was still possible during the ordeal, but did require keeping the airway clear of saliva; its really quite amazing how much spit you can generate when holding a Tupperware bowl and waiting for the GI team to drive from home to the hospital. Anyhow, we had to hit the Rockyview where a team of gastroenterology specialists utilized what I imagine must have been a previously-used sewer camera to poke the offending chunk of meat into my gut where it was finally able to fulfill its destiny. I've got some fantastic HD images of the event, but was put under for the festivities. Perhaps Sunday will shape up to be a little better

Your account of the horrid ordeal was almost poetic.

[Sushi]

Wow, imagine if your meat fest gave you a gout attact to top it all off! Thanks for the amusing story!

[MtnGiant]

The makings of a true comedian

I can relate to the haircut. Took my son when he was about 10years old.

The barber jokingly asked if he wan't a buzz cut. My son asked if it was ok. I said if you get one I'll get one, not thinking he would. WOW! was she ever mad.

Glad you're ok , I imagine it took some discipline not to run panic stricken through the house or charge into chairs for the self induced Heimlich.

[Ken07AOVette]

Glad you are ok buddy. Smaller bites next time?

[dodger]

Bet you are not sitting down to a plate of roast tonite!

Should be good for some extra mileage when you are in a large group and you say" Honey -Remember when I almost died eating one of your roasts?"

I was a comedian throughout, but I resisted temptation on a few jokes that came to mind. The female Dr and specialist nurse were both exceptionally good looking, and I thought to myself something about the typical irony that I'd be the one leaving with a sore throat.... .

On a serious note, having been put under left me unable to say thanks to them for the excellent job they did. Throats still sore, and am about to have more roast beef, cut into smaller pieces and better chewed.

[jackrabbit000]

A 6 pack of beers and it would have washed it down. Just kidding, glad you are alright.

[recce43]

can we see the vid

[thumper]

Actually, I think it'll be Caber Jr who'll be the comedian. Just think of all the future 'material' you're providing him with

[1000yards]

Glad to hear your ok,
Thanks for showing me how great my saturday was lol

[doetracks]

Caber!!

Glad everything came out ok!! Sorry about the hair, it'll grow back.

Gawd, be careful please!

[colin455]

Glad to hear you're ok.
However, I tend to shy away when 'sphincter' and 'camera' are used in the same sentence.

Maybe the health care budget cuts mean I got the same camera that they use for the colonoscopies

[bagwan]

[MadMarty911]

Dang dude! Did they not try a few different medications to help relax your esophagus??

One of my first calls in EMS here was for someone who had a wringer stuck in their throat <----- Dispatchs wording, not mine!

[Metalmike123]

I hate to laugh at another's misfortune's, but this was pretty funny

[TreeGuy]

Meat......RED meat, caught in throat. (NOT gonna say sphincter. lol)

Couldn't spit it out?

Off the emerge to get something jammed down your face?



Now I think yer trying to kill ME! Too funny.
