Last night, (Monday) I made steak kabobs and a nice big salad for dinner. We were just finishing up and Orie swallowed his last piece of steak and it got lodged in his esophagus. He tried for about 40 minutes to see if it would go down, but to no avail. I drove him to the ER where they called the endocrinologist in and he took it out. Okay, not just one piece, but 3 large pieces of steak. Needless to say, Orie is rather sore today and his throat hurts. Many of you don't know, but Orie has a disease and it's called eosinophilic esophagitis. You can go on webmd and read about it. Orie found out about 3 years ago that he is allergic to chicken, rice, turkey and eggs, so we've had to make some huge changes in the way we eat around the Goudge household. We have been eating quite a bit of fish, pork, lamb, beef and vegetarian. He now has to go routinely to get his esophagus stretched to prevent him from choking. He was actually due to be stretched again this month...like clock work I guess.
I guess I'd better go and start something for supper, thinking about meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. I loved that meal in high school...lol
