Possible Takeaways

Kids don’t understand when they need help. How do you walk around for 5 days with a bone in your throat.  ??

Dan is so dear to me. He lives at home with me and he never told me about his pain or swelling.

His Dad is a great and brave doctor. There have been many tomes when his Dad didn’t deliver for Dan, but he certainly did today.

It could have ended badly, but it didn’t.

What's the Moral?

My 23 year old son had someting, a bone or a bit of food, stuck in his throat since Sunday. He thought he was getting sick, so he called his dad the doctor. Doc prescribed benadryl and ibuprofen. But it wasn’t getting better. His throat was swelling shut. So he went to see Dad. Heroically Dad took a tweezers, said “open wide” and pulled a two inch bone out of our son’s throat.

Moody

I’m so bored I think I’ll go to bed. Why am I not at a sparkling literary salon, sipping absinthe, chatting with intellectual elites? Or, even better, at a tweetup?
