Not invulnerable (warning for weak stomachs)
I got to watch the end of the second very good NY/Minn game last night and a bit of Bos/Ana. This opportunity was brought to me by Wilson Hospital's ER and a chunk of turkey that was lodged in my esophogus for about 12 hours. I have a hiatal hernia and some kind of constriction in my esophogus which occasionally keeps me from eating too much but yesterday had me throwing up at work in the car on the way to school on the way home to the ER and in the ER. You can become quit adept at puking small amounts into a container with enough practice. The Doc put me out and pulled it out. The good news is my avid cyclist resting heart rate 47 - 56 bpm is occasionally below the alarm threshhold of the monitor. Eventually we're gonna have my esophogus stretched and in the meantime I'm on a pip inhibitor to reduce the acid and allow things to heal a bit. For all the griping about ERs that you hear this was about as good an experience as you could hope for, although I'd just as soon had the work done immediately after Matsui took care of business. all for now Middle Aged Man
