Okay, I’m confused. Who choked **dropzone**? I understand that he’s in the hospital and they don’t know what to do with him. Hope you’re feeling better,\*\* DZ\*\*. ---

I’m sorry I was a little rattled when I wrote the OP. I even made the title scarier than it should’ve been. (Thanks Mods for fixing that ) **Mikey** (dropzone) choked or inhaled something into his windpipe. Turned blue. They finally called 911. ---

I was just wondering if it was object related or some kind of reaction. It may be a wrong guess on my part, but I’m glad it wasn’t a reaction. That just seems more likely to be a sign of more possible trouble. Hugs to **Beck** and **DZ**. ---

More possible trouble comes daily because i do not swallow carefully. ---

So glad you’re still with us! Best wishes and, for the love, be careful of those omelets. (As an aside, I’ve been listening to Weird Al too much lately with the kids and can’t stop thinking of omelets as mini-Amish, which is totally inappropriate.) ---

I’m chiming in with my best wishes, **dropzone**. I’m not a frequent poster, but I am a frequent reader here, and always enjoy your posts. It’s great that you’re well enough to post and that your sense of humour seems to have survived intact (and that’s no choke!). ---
