Earlier in the week I wrote a blog about how smoked salmon and teeth can be hazardous to your health. I would now like to update everyone on this matter.
As the earlier blog stated, I had choked on a piece of smoked salmon, discovering after the choking was done, that I had swallowed one of my teeth. (It’s actually a crown.)
This was on Tuesday. As the week progressed, I felt better and better. My chest wasn’t hurting anymore, which I attributed to not coughing all the time. However, still no sign of the tooth.
I’d had several people tell me I should get an x-ray, to see where the tooth was. Why? I was feeling better, I didn’t hurt, didn’t have any problems, except an occasional cough; no big deal.
I’m writing this current blog on Sunday morning. I woke up, just as I always do; got up, got dressed, and out of nowhere had a bad coughing fit. It was as bad as the one on Tuesday when I’d choked on the salmon. I couldn’t stop coughing; I felt like I was choking just like before. Then what happens? Out pops my tooth! Seriously, I coughed up my tooth!
Despite the coughing, my warped sense of humor still kicked in. My first thought upon seeing the tooth was, “I’m sure glad I didn’t go looking for that earlier in the week!”
My second thought was important enough, (to me at least), that I actually posted it as my Facebook status: If I’m wrong, and admit it, it voids those who were right from saying, “I told you so”. (:
If anyone is wondering; Yes, I called the advice nurse; no, I don’t have to go in. Since I coughed the tooth out, I should be fine.
So there you have it; an update, and an admission of being wrong. Hopefully this will be the last of any health risk warnings I’ll be blogging about.
