FML (fork my life)

A Loopy moment in post op history:

I never elaborated on the buttload of food Shar and Lis came over with from Cosi catering. It included fajita pitas, southwest salad complete with tortilla strips and a tangy salad dressing, and marinated shrimp on skewers.  The following day, I ate the southwest salad after PT.  Busted out a plastic fork because I didn't feel like washing dishes.  I was so excited as i sprinkled the tortilla strips for garnishing. Drizzled the tangy dressing which had an ingredient that Shar's company provided (http://www.customculinary.com/...they even have cilantro oil!).  I took a big bite making sure there were some tortilla strips mixed into that bite.  Started chewing and realized I was chewing awfully hard on this particular bite.  I figured I was fighting some real hard/overbaked tortilla strips.  I was gmail chatting at the same time, so i didn't pay attention to when I put the fork back in the bowl.  When I went to pick the fork up for another bite, I noticed the 2 inner "prongs" of the fork were missing.  Then I felt something inside the pocket of one of my molars.  Picked at it with my finger only to pull out a mini white particle.  Then I put 2 and 2 together- I ate the 2 prongs!  Luckily my bowels weren't affected.  Fork my life! 


...just another loopy moment in post op history
