why oh why oh woe oh woe

earlier today, whilst breakfasting at a friend’s house, i somehow managed to get a rice krispie lodged in my soft palate.

ive tried everything within my power to get it out, but to no avail.

i gargled water. i ended up choking and half drowning on the kitchen floor.
i tried snorting it out. i ended up making weird pig noises and looking very very odd.
i tried drinking water through my nose hoping it would wash it out. didn’t work.
i even took a bath and tried holding my head under water and breathing for a while.

it didn’t work!

now, 17 hours after the initial incident, the offending rice krispie has turned rabid.
it’s trying to suck out the very essence of my being.

i feel hella ill, i even have a temperature, i can’t talk or sing or play the trumpet, which is a bummer because tomorrow i have church where i’m playing the world premier of a piece of music, on trumpet, after singing in the choir the whole morning.

but it hurts to eat, it hurts to drink, it hurts to talk. my whole throat hurts and everytime i do something which requires movement of any of my throat muscles my whole throat seizes up,and the little nasty men in it come out with their swords and sabres and start brutally stabbing any piece of flesh within sight. i have a temperature (i do!) and my skin hurts, my head hurts, my throat hurts

all because of a stupid rice krispie.

**** them, i hope they’re happy now.

bewaree the ice krispies, bewareeee bewareeeee bewareee!

pleeeease, how can i feel better? i had a long sleep this evening and now i’m awake, wide wide awake.

ps sorr y for my dumb ****** typing, anything tha requires a modicum of brain power and the rice krispie attacks. i think im going to b the first person to die of ricekrispie-itis.

help!

Honey I am sorry you are in pain! Try rinsing it a few times with salt water. Maybe let the water sit in your mouth for a few minutes. Relax, don’t stress! Do you feel like you need to see a doctor?

LMAO, I am so sorry but I had to laugh at that.
I know I shouldn’t laugh at your pain and normally I wouldn’t but th dramatics that went with that I could just see you doing all that :D

Anyhow, I thinkg the rice crispie will sort itself out on it’sown, I mean it can’t stay there forever, and I think you must have been comeing down with something before the rice crispie got involved.
Just take some pain killers and get a little more sleep, try and relax, are you sure the rice crispie is even still there? It coud have gone ages ago.

I tired that Max :( it hurt a lot and the rice krispie didn’t like it (see fresh stab wounds on back of troat for more detail).
No I don’t need to see a doctor, a rice-krispie-ectomist may help though. But i’m in paaaiiin! Oweeeee, i forgot what it was like to be properly properly ill.

i think it is there :( well actuially i have no idea. if it went it might have laid a few eggs before departure, i now have a serious infestation.
i sleeeep, i sleep, is good, nice sleep. only now i woke up and sleep refuses to come to me, i can only sleep a certain aomunt of time each day and i think i just used up my sleep credits :(
plus i hate painkillers, lol, they are the epitomy of all things evil and inane.

i don’t think i’m making much sense. haha.

and thanks max :)

I’ve tried looking up several websites but alas, I didn’t find much. The only solution I found is to take Mucinex or something (probably called something different where you live at). Apparently it helps with phlegm and all that stuff. Eh, here’s the wikipedia entry for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaifenesin

Anyway, hope you feel better. :)

Oh, no problem.

Put your left thumb on the table.

With your right hand, grab a hammer.

Aim carefully at the nail root, where the nail meets the skin.

Then slam the hammer there, as hard as you can!

Then you won’t worry about no rice crisp no more! At least not for a long time!

what is rice crispies sworn enemy??

MILK.

it like totally makes them snap, crackle and pop, and then they go all soggy and slippery.

gargle milk. drink milk. snort milk!!! live milk until your rice crispie becomes a soggy mess, and it’ll not only disappear, it’ll taste **** good too.

:( I didn’t do it. I went to church feeling really ill, made it through about half of the service and couldn’t go on :( It was a bummer. Well even if I had stayed until the end of the service I doubt I would have been able to play it, I didn’t even have the energy to stand lol.

hehe - when I was really young my sister managed to get a baked bean stuck up her nose. We walked what must have been 2 miles to go to the doctors surgery (Mom didnt drive at the time) it was a hot day too and Mom was grumbling/moaning the whole way. Any ways - we got within 5 steps of the doctors surgery and my sister sniffed thus moving the baked bean to her mouth and she ate it! hahahahahaha Mom could not believe it. We had to walk all the way back - Mom moaning and us siblings laughing our butts off hahahahaha

Heehee, sounds like you had some fun days there Ditz :P One of my friends went mountain climbing with her family a while back - her mum slipped and broke her leg. Her dad (not realising he had a phone on him) made her walk all the way back down before he caught an ambulance! haha.
Thanks everyone :)
No I don’t think I will get much of a chance to play that piece again. It was pretty much a one-off, which was why i was so determined to go to church and play it but i just couldn’t :( rar me >.

Rats! I am late!!!

By the way I think I have the solution you are looking for. But it requires parental approval. It is called a medicinal hot tot-tea (sp?).

Chamomile tea REALLY hot half a large tea cup full, half a lemon juiced or about 1oz lemon juice, about 1 heaping
