We have been extremely busy lately and I was so excited yesterday afternoon to be able to have more than 5 minutes at home and my plan was to clean. Well it wasn’t but a couple minutes after we got home that Harry ran up to me crying saying, “there are cranberries stuck in my nose!” Sigh!
I could barely see them up there but yes, they were there. I got the tweezers out hoping I could reach them but couldn’t. I called our neighbor, a nurse. She advised putting pepper in his nose to make him sneeze. Sneeze he did but no cranberries to follow. I tried just about everything.
So we made an emergency trip to his E.N.T. He tried too with the tweezers but no luck. So he had to have a little microscopic procedure (pretty interesting) but Harry obliged since the cranberries were hurting him and he wanted them out. Since it’s the beginning of the year, we had to pay $250 towards our deductible-yuck! Not too excited about that one since we just paid $350 less than a week ago at the dentist. Anyway, enough about money. The cranberries came out and Harry was happy. He also got a lecture by his E.N.T. about never sticking anything in his nose again. As soon as we got to the truck he said, “I’m hungry. Can I have some cranberries?!” Seriously????!
Then last night he was snacking on a graham cracker and says to me, “graham crackers fit in your nose.” I about lost it :) I said, “Harry, absolutely not, didn’t you learn anything today?” He replied, “But if you smashed them into pieces, they fit in your nose.” Why do I feel this is not going to be the last time something gets stuck in his nose?!
