Ok so the kids are grown and my husband and I are enjoying some new freedom that comes with that fact. Tonight we decide we will go and have a bite at the mexican food restaurant. We sit, we order they bring those wonderful chips that I love. Life is good. Good conversation etc. They bring our dinners, we say our grace and proceed to do what so many others in the restaurant are doing-EAT! I like to mix my rice and beans and eat them with the tortilla chips they bring. So I mix, dip, eat.....mix, dip, eat.....MMMMM I am happy. I felt like I was half starved because I had been packing all day. Maybe I was a bit to excited to be eating.....LOL Next thing I know I feel a chip slice down the inside of my gums. I am like ouch that hurt. But I guess I didn't realize right away how badly I was cut. You can bet I figured it out when my mouth filled up with blood. Alan was like UH you should go in the ladies room and check that out...Ok! I go in there and blood was just flowing endlessly. I go back out to the table. It takes about 20 minutes for us to decide that this is something that needed to be looked at. We go to the Urgent care. Guess what~they had never had this situation present it self in their facility. HEHE They just don't know how unique I am! The doctor said the chip acted like a knife and had fillet my gums open. The first layer of my gums had been sliced open and peeled back. Oh my word! It took about 1 1/2 hours for him to get the bleeding to stop. He finally had to cauterize my gums 3 times to stop the bleeding........so after a few laughs about it, a few dollars later and the fact that I never did get to eat my dinner I am home and thinking "What are the chances????? So how was your day???? 'Til next time
