soupkid Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 for those that don't know of my medical struggles as of late, here goes. Saturday September 3rd like any other fall day I had gone to camp alone. cooked a nice steak and warm buns for supper. Bun got stuck causing what I thought was was a heart attack. Called 911 ( no municipal address) and hoped for the best. they did find me and took me to hospital as a heart attack . next thing i know its the middle of october and I have been in a coma in UCI for 4 weeks. Torn Esophagus trying to dislodge the bun. Both Doctors that saw me said I am lucky to be alive as the survival rate is about 5%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opened him up from tits to tail. if he got to emerg 5 mins later, he'd be dead. 25yo general contractor. Glad you're ok. I'm alive, still have a long way to go.

If we ride up Sudbury way again this year, we'll give you a shout! Warm buns have definitely gotten me in trouble over the years also..... especially when the husband comes home early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gluten for punishment if you don't swallow properly . It could affect the assoffofgus if the hindlick maneuver isn't done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
