zack, what a harrowing saga. I'm glad you made it through. Take it easy for a spell. Get back into things gradually. One time the dentist dropped a crown he was installing, and it went down my gullet. We both thought it went down the esophagus and he planned to have another made, and that would be that. But after a few days of rocky breathing, I got an x-ray and there it was, the crown brightly ensconced in my bronchial tube. Under sedation, I had it removed by a deft lung doc. He fished it out of one bronchial tube, it got away from him, and he eased it out of the other and into a pill bottle. Saved by quick work. Hope you get feeling fine, fast.
