There’s a movie I watched on Prime a few years ago. A man is very unhappy with the boring aspects of his life, and is often calling in sick to work. He does so one day and can’t think of a good excuse and somehow tells his boss his baby daughter is dead. Unexpectedly, his job takes up donations for him and word spreads around to everyone til his wife/girlfriend finds out and is obviously pissed. I know his best friend lived in a very small camper out by the beach, and he seems to be kind of jealous? It ends with him, his girlfriend/wife, and baby moving out of town, I guess to look for something more?

My husband and I went on a long weekend to the beach in Texas (Padre Island). He was eating seafood Alfredo when he took a big bite and coughed. I said “did you inhale a scallop”, he laughed, and then inhaled a scallop while laughing. It went into his nostril. Blocked one side of his nasal passage. Couldn’t get it out from coughing, gargling, blowing, or even me blowing in one nostril. We left and went to CVS for a netti pot but he ended up getting it out in the parking lot. It was a HUGE scallop. Quarter sized. Got the netti pot anyway and he used it. Developed a bad sinus headache within an hour. That was Friday. He’s had sinus pressure that Sudafed doesn’t help nor irrigation. Even Vicodin we had from his back surgery didn’t help. He has a Dr appt tomorrow- 5 days after the event. Today, he blew out two huge chunks of scallop. This picture is the smaller of the things he’s blown out of his nose/mouth. I thought the scallop couldn’t have been bigger than what he got out Thursday night, but he’s still getting these sized pieces out.

Can there be more in there? How is it possible that this much got stuck in his nasal passage for days?! What are the ramifications of SEAFOOD of all things being stuck in his nasal passage? I know that is a more dangerous food when it starts to go bad. His mouth tastes like seafood according to him- rotten seafood. We’re- of course- seeing the doctor tomorrow even though it isn’t an ENT. They’re all booked in the area for a while. Could this cause an infection? Help! Have you seen this before? Nasal regurgitation of SEAFOOD?!

Edit: can’t seem to add the photo? The pieces are a quarter sized for the first scallop, almost that for the second. The last one is nickel sized. Huge pieces of scallop!!!
