a trip to the er

So it's the last week of school and everyone is eager to finish. I know I am. I don't need any distractions or things taking up my time. Final projects and exams are my top priority. But as we know, life has is funny and will throw a few unexpected events into your life. Let's take for example my er trip last night. So I was out to eat with some friends at a beloved sushi place when suddenly I swallowed something and it got stuck in my throat. It was small and sharp and wouldn't budge. It was painful but not unbearable. My friends played doctor when we got done eating and tried to locate the foreign object with a flashlight but it was too far down and unseen. So after googling what to do when something is lodged in the throat and trying the solutions they offered (eat bread, drink lots of liquids, etc), it was still there and hurting more and more. So my friends finally convinced me that we needed to go the er. So we hung out in the waiting room at Baptist Hospital, talking and actually getting a much needed break to just hang out and not think about the long to do list we all had hanging over out heads. You wouldn't ever expect to have a good time at the er, but we did. And it was just what we needed, as far as dealing with stress. Unfortunately, the doctors couldn't do much for me because it was so far down and suggested that if it still remained the next day that I see a throat doctor. I awoke with the object gone, but with a pain that was worse that the day before. I'm losing my voice and feeling like I'm coming down with something, but oh well, such is life.
So, yeah, life is funny. I'm certainly glad it wasn't worse, and it def. could have been.
So for now I'm just trying to stay positive and focusing on my work. I'm feeling good about my final projects, and just ready to be done and get a long break.
Good luck to everyone this week, getting stuff done and keeping your sanity.
