Ok Ladies and Gents,

Last week I took my husband to a play and dinner afterwards for his B'day. I ordered 1/2 chicken (because I knew I didn't want to cook when I got home so I was going to take the white meat home to 1 daughter and the thigh home to the other daughter). I had two almost fork fulls of cole slaw and 1 almost fork full of baked potato. WELL.....after cutting a small piece of chicken and trying to eat it ------------------AGONY! The chicken got stuck....I felt it stuck in my chest, I had to get it out, but before I could get up it started traveling upward! All I could do is grab a napkin and hope for the best (I know..gross) Well the best didn't happen, all the slime couldn't fit in the napkin and BAM hit the floor IN THE RESTURANT:drool:!!! Once that came out everything I'd eaten wanted to come out...two PB's in the bathroom of the resturant and 5 between cars on the way home. Yeah, Gross ! My husband said I needed to go back to the doctor ( i had just gotten a fill 4 days earlier bringing my fill to 2.6'cc in a band that holds 4cc's). I have since been o.k. with solids and soft foods but I have to eat alot less than before that last fill. As nasty as this experience was I can laugh at it now.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

I've posted this before so I'll be brief. I've PB shoulder to shoulder with a stranger on a crowded flight. That was nice.

Months ago I had one bad PB in a chinese restaurant in chinatown, followed by 2 more sliming incidents (one on the street!!!!) and one in the garbage can at starbucks - there was a line for the bathroom. It is the worst! BUT to answer your question I have pbed at a restaurant many times but I always have notice, recognize the signs and can get to the bathroom in time.

Been there done that but thank goodness I always made it to the restroom!

I have come up with a theory on sliming! When we first eat, since our pouches are so far up our body produces alot of saliva because it thinks it needs to to digest and get down what we are eating. It's so thick and there is so much of it it doesn't want to let the food though. The food sits on top of it and won't let it go down. I get it all up and I can eat fine from then on out. Don't know what everyone else's experience with it is but that's my thinking.

Happy Friday!!!

Up until a few days ago I was feeling all smug about being able to eat breads, while most have said they couldn't. Well... lo and behold.. a trip to Black Eyed Pea sure fixed THAT. They usually bring rolls and cornbread before the meal and I was munching away on a roll. About the 3rd bite, and that burning pain hit in my chest. I barely made it to the bathroom! Ouch! No more bread for me!!
