I'm a moron. I was getting frozen bread out of the freezer and nuking in the microwave. I started to choke on a piece. I was so distressed I called an ambulance. This was at 11pm last night. It's now 4am and I'm yet to see a doctor. I don't want to leave as I can still feel it in my throat. It's very disconcerting. I've had an x-ray. What a stupid thing to do. Really, my stupidity knows no bounds. STUPID.
just remember we all do stupid things even when we are smart, and you are smart

we can't talk polotics here but i have to be grateful for the current leaders. expensive gas makes me stay home and rest more, the cost of groceries makes me eat unhealthy food, current affairs allow me to remember the past with envy, and allows me to enjoy more stress and anxiety etc. etc. we should be grateful lol.

gas here is only 3.59 or so and i'm glad i don't drive much. we already talked about limited driving in jasmine this summer. our truck isn't much better, she has a hemi and my son tuned it for me so she only gets between 13 and 14 mpg. she is a crew cab lousy gas mileage but faster than any cop car in the area lol.

:D Thank you for making me laugh. Gas here is so expensive because it is very heavily taxed. VERY HEAVILY. And boy, I sure do remember the past with envy. And worry about the future of the young.

Sorry this happened, and that it made you feel stupid @Pebble mouse . 😞


I've heard it is pretty common for anxious people's muscles to tighten up, unbeknownst to themselves, and this then making it hard to swallow food.

Keep us posted, I hope you're back away from hospital and feeling better.

Thanks @seabird. But really, it was my fault. The bread was sticky because it had been microwaved. I actually thought to myself at the time that it might be risky, but I ignored it. I will be more careful from now on.

as most people know i suffer moderate to severe chronic pain. this means i have 2 choices, 1. opioid pain meds or suicide. even with my pain meds i often contemplate suicide because the pain is still too high.

i have to figure out if i suffer now or take my meds and suffer later. i don't blame my doctor, i'm actually grateful he prescribes them at all. i have to use other ways to make the pain more bearable. i take extra strength tylenol and extra strength ibupropen together in higher doses 2 to 3 times a day even though i know it's bad for my liver. i take prescription 5% lidocaine patches every other day approximately, i take mmj both edibles and a thc intact salve, plus other things.

my major complaint is these damned pharmaceutical companies. they don't want to cure diseases because they would lose income so no incentive, they also don't want to put research into pain meds. opioid pain meds create addiction and dependance. i am dependant but not addicted. so either way addiction or dependace if you stop you go through withdrawl. if i'm more than 5 or 6 hours past a dose withdrawl starts.

so why don't they do research ? no incentive. if they could do the research and invent a non opioid pain med that actually worked on moderte to severe pain i would change immediately and so would most pain patients. we aren't getting high we are surviving. if drug companies tried i'm sure they could come up with something in 5 years or less, but that won't happen because no financial incentive.

Yes, our medical system only wants money. And as you get older you get shafted more and more. A number of ladies in my church are almost blind with macular degeneration. Are they researching a cure? Nope, just give people a shot in the eyeballs until it stops working. Another lady has been in severe back pain for months. She has gastro issues as well and can't take opioids, even if they would give her some. She is finally getting some kind of injection next month to see if it helps. Next friggin month! She is 92 years old and in agony. Help this woman!
Cripes, quality human life seems to have little value in this country. Especially if you are old.

**feel free to ignore this, it's just my attempt at a public service announcement**

Medicare will cover up to 10 acupuncture treatments for lower back pain, and if the patient responds well, then it will also pay for 10 additional treatments.

I hope she can get better somehow.

People often decide who to help based on bias and favoritism. If both people are doing something wrong, and you only choose to correct one and show them the right way, while belittling and calling the other stupid, it's just wrong. While one person builds confidence and skill, the other has low self-esteem and is still stuck. They might eventually teach themselves the correct way, but their self-esteem is already shot. Nothing is wrong with building both people up at the same time.
 
Been dealing with customer service over an invoice that I have paid, they recognize that I have paid them, but the invoice never get registered as paid. Been in contact with customer service several times, and things just get more convoluted from their side every time.

Been in chat with customer service for an hour. Completely exhausted. Feeling insane. Think it ended with them refunding my payment, so I can pay them again.
 
Still dealing with customer service. The e-mails won’t stop coming. No one is relaying information to the next guy. Absolutely ridiculous how they made such a mess of such a straight forward problem. Going to need to respond to every e-mail individually. Tried to answer one e-mail and explaining that all of it is concerning the one simple thing. But no information is retained or logged.

Going insane. Too anxious too even read properly. Don’t know how to be able to respond to all this. Can’t think or write. Feel I sound insane when I try explain back to them how they created this mess.

Feel like walking out in the woods and never come back.
