How have you got that stuck up there?

[Gritt23]

Kids eh? Last night while I was peacefully feeding the baby, I heard my 5 year old lad call out, he was sounding rather distressed ....

"Mummy, help, mummy."
"What is it, what's the matter" exclaimed Mrs Gritt as she went into his room.
"You're going to be so cross with me" said our little boy in a fairly pitiful voice.

The door shut, and I didn't really get the rest of the conversation, although I did hear the odd "what?" and "how?" although strangely not "why?", coming from the good lady wife.

Once the baby was fed, I went in to see what the fuss was about. He had been playing with some blu-tack and managed to get a ball of it lodged up his nose, which had bled a bit and he was in a bit of a panic, thinking we would have to cut his nose to get it out.

To cut the story short(ish) it did come out with not too much of a fuss, but while trying to calm him down I was telling him about how:

My brother, as a child managed to get a drawing pin stuck up his nose, and how,

I had managed to swallow a 1/2p coin when I was a child. It briefly stuck in my throat but I managed to swallow after a couple of panicky seconds.


Just wondering, does everyone have stories of getting objects stuck in them somehow, or is it just my family?

I got a rock of smelling salts stuck up my nose once, f*** me that smarted. An ex of mine got a twig stuck behind her eyeball in her eye cavity after falling into a hedge. I heard a story about a kid who went to hospital complaining of eye pain and they found a baked bean behind one eye. Crazy.

oh christ....

My brother ate a marble, it got stuck in his throat- eventually freed itself and came out his arse a couple of days later!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

My brother got a twig stuck in his ear when we were kids. It dislodged the 3 bones and he's been mostly deaf in that ear ever since.

A piece of foam came out of my sisters teddy bear once when she was little and so she stuffed it up her nose.... She was telling Mum for about a week how she stuffed teddy up her nose, and Mum thought it was hilarious, until her nose started going purple and green and so they went to the doctors...

It was up so far they had to give her a general to get it out!!

She stuff a pea up there as well a short time after but Dad managed to get it out with some plastic tweezers....

My brother nearly died when he ate a leaf on the kitchen floor when he was about 2. Hasn't been the same since.

 

[Marshy]

My little boy 3 at the time got a toy pulley of His Pirate Ship up his nose last year, i was getting close to panicking and taking a trip to A&E when i got it out...I even had the scissors in my hand at one point !
That scared the shit out of him i think....hasnt done anything since.....

 

[Simon Morgan]

I put some lego over my nostril for a laugh when I was younger, then I sniffed...

Had to go to hospital and the doctor got it out with some MASSIVE scissors!

 

[Curious Orange]

A mate of mine got one of those rubbers you get on the ends of pencils stuck in his ear when he was a kid. That was a Casualty trip he tells me, and subsequent years of piss-taking from his "friends".

Ironically, given the earlier thread on Subbuteo, I got one of the balls from the much poorer version Striker, stuck up my nose when I was a kid. they were much smaller than Subbuteo balls. Don't know why I was putting it up there in the first place, but it took some serious, eye bulging blowing down one nostril to get it out!!

 

[Lush]

I went running into the house when I was about six shouting that my sister had swallowed a bead.

My mum went into mum overdrive. My sister was held over the sink, banged on the back and my mum was just on the phone to the hospital when I mentioned that it wasn't a very big bead.

"Bead?" said my mum. I thought you said that she'd swallowed a bee!

 

[Dave the OAP]

a friend of my wife is a matron in a london hospital and one day they had a lady come in with excrutiating pain " down there"

After examination, there seemed to be a blockage....they took her into theater and removed a very rusty door knob which it transpires, her " boyfriend " had inserted there during a moment of passion()...anyway, it had been there two weeks and they had to take away most of her lower regions as they had become infected.

Lucky she didnt die.

 

[Trufflehound]

Just don't mention the vacuum cleaner, OK?

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

My daughter had a penny stuck in her throat when she was a baby and was coughing and spluttering until I held her upside down and smacked her on the back - and the penny flew out!

And Commander was right about his baby brother and the leaf, although I seem to remember Commander being more concerned as to who was going to cook his tea while his mother and I were dashing off to the hospital.

A scary time, that. For a while I really thought we might lose him until the doctor managed to shift the leaf.

 

[Chester Drawers]

I once got a peanut stuck up one nostril ... so my mum put chocolate up the other nostril - I sneezed... it came out a "Treat"... the rest they say is history....

 

[Scotty Mac]

somein in my class at primary school sawllowed a pen top - rumour has it he shitted it out, although i have always found it somewhat hard to believe

 

[surrey jim]

he was in a bit of a panic, thinking we would have to cut his nose to get it out.

you didnt have to amputate

 

[clippedgull]

This thread reminds me of the 'lightbulb' incident.

A 'lady' had one inserted into her back passage during sexual play and it exploded under pressure

It must have been very embarrassing at the A&E Dept!

Re: Re: How have you got that stuck up there?

No the sheer panic he was in, causing tears etc inevitably leads to snot pouring in 5 year olds, and it literally flushed it out.

We had phoned NHS Direct, who called back 4 hours ohmy: ) later, but presumably it takes a long time to get hold of the sort of expert, specialist advice we received, "get some pepper, put it up his nose, and he should soon sneeze it out."
