OMG! How on *earth* did you manage to swallow the stud? Including the ball thingy underneath?

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

It came untwisted while I was eating, and I didn't notice until I crunched on the remaining ball, and it wasn't there. I made my sister ring her doctor boyfriend to find out that I wasn't going to die. Apparently I'm not.

Ooh, makes you wonder what the rest of the day might bring ;)

(In more sympathetic vein, oh bugger and OUCH, didn't that hurt?)

See next post!

Not at all - didn't notice until it wasn't there, if you see what I mean. Came untwisted while I was eating. I went to Claire's Accessories and bought a new one in time before it closed up.

*g*

You have been Put In Your Place by not doing anything quite so disastrous as your father :)

THIS IS MY JUDGEY FACE.

YOU SPECIFICALLY WARNED YOURSELF NOT TO SWALLOW YOUR TONGUE STUD. SPECIFICALLY.

Yes, but the IMPORTANT question is whether she'll stoop to retrieving it or give it up as lost and gone forever. ::this is my cruel tongue-stud mocking face::

I am apparently supposed to "ensure it comes out", but I am quite happy to have replaced it!

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did. But I wasn't on my guard, and tongue studs are SNEAKY, it turns out.

Were these two related? Whatever, eek! I hope you, the car and the garage door are all ok.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

No, separate bits of idiocy! The car is (I insist) fine, the garage door has a bit of paint missing, and my parents just laughed at me and kindly drove onto the road for me, so that's okay. And assuming the stud doesn't do anything nasty to my insides on the way down, the tongue stud is not so bad either. I bought a new one quickly enough.

'Oh dear' doesn't really cover it ... but oh dear. A friend of mine swallowed a lego man and a metal bolt once and he was fine. Incidentally. I know it doesn't help you to recover your tongue stud.

I went and bought a new one in Claire's Accessories. It was more annoying that anything, and now I am finding it all a bit amusing. My parents didn't mind too much about the car either. That was really their fault though, because they left it in gear. Really it drove itself into the garage door.

My daddy swallowed his false tooth once!

It was the only time he ever spent a protracted amount of time in hospital.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Ooh - are false teeth bad things to swallow, then? I hope tongue studs are more kind to the body.

I think it would have been okay if the jaggedy metal bit hadn't cut his insides. But I also got the impression that it was a bit of a freakish thing to have happened and normally it would just be a case of letting the digestive process take its course.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

There is totally a screwthreaded end loose in my insides! That probably doesn't qualify as jaggedy though.

I hear a car. I think my dad is back.

Do Claire's Accessories do a loyalty card? Hope it wasn't the black one.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

It was a nice blueish one with stars. Now I have a flat stud with a yin yang that I don't like very much, because it was the cheapest.
