It just keeps getting weirder and weirder

[u2granny]

When I last left somewhere in picture tag my husband had just come home an given me a beautiful gold bracelet. Welllllll he had been to the doctor earlier this week because he hurt his back. Today he got a call at work to go to his doctor's office. In the x-ray you could see what they said was a 2.5 cm nail in his intestines. How the does someone swallow a nail and not know it? His doctor is consulting with a surgeon to decide if anything should be done.

Was he around nails and food recently?
Depends on how sharp the nail tip is if surgical intervention would be needed.

Hope everything turns out okay

Swallowed a nail? Ouch! That sounds pretty painful.

He thinks he did it several months ago. He remembers having some in his mouth while he was nailing something. We went to my sons' for dinner last night and he gave him a plate of nails for dessert. There is no mercy in our family.

No, but he should! I don't think he'll be bringing up the ice cream incident again.

You please bring it up for us, tell us what happened
We could do with a and I swear i'm NOT trying to make fun at your hubbie ,it's just I don't understand how he could swallow something that long and sharp and not knowing (feeling it)

Does he need surgery to have it removed??

You have no idea! There's four of them.

 

[verte76]

That's horrible! I hope he's OK soon!

 

[greety]

hey ganny,

Just bumped this to find out how your hubbie is doing. Does he need surgery after all?

 

[u2granny]

The doc said he was going to consult with a surgeon and if we didn't hear from them they were going to leave it. So, I guess he lives with the nail. Can't wait until we go to the airport. However, I am having a small melanoma(sp?) taken off my ankle tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it will be a small bandage.

 

[greety]

I guess a small melanoma won't need a big bandage
You'll probably have to stay out of the sun with your ankle for a while though.

So, your hubbie is stuck with his nail unless it comes out the natural way

Hope that is not dangerous (internal injuries)

 

[ylimeU2]

Oh, that is not a pleasant thought.

I guess it's good that he doesn't need surgery.
