10. Be careful though

Sun Sep 14, 2025, 11:57 AM

Sunday

My last colonoscopy in July I was planning on going out to eat breakfast afterwards. But I was too tired and decided to just swing by McDonalds for some pancakes to go and then back to bed. I got about half the pancakes eaten and all of a sudden I could not swallow. I took a drink and couldn’t swallow that either. It wasn’t like I was choking as I could breathe fine. But air was leaking in my throat that sounded like a tire leaking air. My wife heard it and was scared. I threw up the pancakes which were mostly mush and settled down and could swallow again. I wonder what would have happened if that was steak instead of pancakes. I called my doc and he said it was trapped air releasing while I was eating. Rare but happens. Glad I wasn’t in a restaurant when it happened. Anyway everything else went well and never had a problem since.
