At no point did a doctor think to x-ray her throat? Especially after it didn't clear up with antibiotics or time, as bronchitis/laryngitis will do... That's the truly scary thing, here.

There's certainly more to unpack here. I'd love to be a fly on the wall during this year's Christmas dinner. "So mom, ..."

Oh goodness, Wollogong in Australia might be something akin to Florida or not.. I don't know personally, never having been to either Florida or Australia.

Have you been to compare? Please do share if so.

No hehe i say this because whenever you here bizzare or crazy news stories its usually from Florida that being said im british so i havent been to either places but i would love to go to Australia. Are you from there?

If you want to come to Australia from Britain go steal an apple or something.  The chains are a bit uncomfortable but you get the trip for free.

Ah, since I've never been to Australia, makes it kind of difficult to be from Australia.

All besides your typical californian accent. I remember an snl skit with jamie foxx and jason sudeikis i dont know if people from maine actually sound like this but i like it hehe 

 

Lol, no... that's none of the Maine accents. It's more of a spoof/play on twisting some of the more southern state accents, probably as a spoof/play about being from more southern Maine vs the northern regions of Maine.

Goodness, yes.. .and my bad for playing part in the derailment.

Back to the OP then. I can't imagine how terrible it would be to have something stuck in your throat for so long.

Pennies were still put in the Christmas pudding when I was (supposedly) growing up.

I remember one Christmas my grandmother/aunts/mother saying how the decimal currency coins were had some toxic reaction with food.  That could be why the coins were kept after circulation.

it's a bit of an old wives tale anyway.  I'm pretty sure I swallowed a decimal currency coin at some stage.  It was dad's job to "account" for it.

You'd think right!?!? 

Well, as an Aussie myself, I'd just like to say that most of us usually spend money, not eat it. 

This girl was clearly out of the ordinary.  But damn....no x-ray's? There's got to be more to this story or maybe that's how they are in Wollongong :P
