"Here's one for the record books... I woke up this morning, felt fine, but when I tried to drink a glass of water it wouldn't go down, I had to lean over to let it spill out into the sink. Gross. Something felt off with a lot of pressure in my chest, but I figured my throat was just dry or something from all the snow shoveling late last night... Right after that I looked around for my AirPod Headphones that I was listening to the night before as I went to bed and could only find one after scouring the bedroom. Owen jokingly tells Heather that maybe I swallowed it in my sleep... Fast forward to a trip to the ER and an X-Ray, and sure enough I had an AirPod lodged in the lower part of my esophagus.
