Worst stuck episode ever!

I went to lunch today with a group of friend - none of them know about the band (although I am thinking of outing myself to a select group - that will be another post, I think). I chose laksa on the basis that soup is easier to eat than solids. Mistake! Well, the mistake was eating the half a boiled egg on the top of the laksa - sliming while still at the table. Nasty - went to the toilet to try to get rid of the offending item but no go - just lots of nasty slime. I went back to the table and we finished and went to pay. While in the queue I was still sliming and knew I needed to get to a toilet again. Felt silly about that given I'd just been - my friends will think I'm bulimic! - threw my money at a friend said I needed to get a tissue. Off to the toilet again - still just sliming. Walked back to the bus stop but on the way spent 10 minutes in a cafe bathroom sliming some more - feeling awful by now and late to get back to work. I had to get on the bus but, you guessed it, had to slime AGAIN - I looked around and couldn't see what to do. Luckily the bus was quiet and I was the only one at the back. I searched my handbag and now I understand the "carry a ziplock bag" instruction - of course I didn't have a ziplock bag. I emptied a tin of breath mints and, wait for it, this is really gross - I slimed into the tin - with my head bent down behind the seat so noone could see - disgusting!!!!! I then got off the bus, threw the tin away and went to work where I PBed the egg and felt much better. 45 minutes of nasty painful sliming - I am an idiot to eat the egg white. I've got some restriction since the fill last week but I'm used to being able to eat whatever so I think I got complacent about food selection - never again!!! Sorry for the gross post but the episode did have some black humour about it!!

  4. We have all been in a situation like that, and it does make you think twice the next time...especially after a fill when you don't really know how things are going to react....my worst PB was while driving, at a set of traffic lights and I had to PB into a latex glove (I was taking a box to work as I am H&S officer!)! It was the only thing I had in the car at the time...there is now a stash of ziploc baggies...

  5. Sorry but I'm laughing at the mint tin and Roo's glove! I must get some ziplock bags for that purpose!

  6. My first PB was astonishing that it went on so long too. I do keep the ziplocs safely in my purse. Haven't had the public exposure yet, just the quiet in the bathroom cubicle sliming away. Yuck. You should try fluids for a day or so in case the stomach is inflammed.

  9. Oh dear, sounds awful but I'm laughing at the same time - sorry! I had a stuck/PB episode yesterday when I was at the beach; I had to pretend I was going off to take some photos and ducked behind a beach hut to get rid of the offending piece of bread roll!
