A friend of mine was released from the hospital today after 2 surgeries to remove a wire from her throat. It punctured her esophagus and thyroid and almost got her carotid artery. She had accidentally ingested it while eating some grilled food on Sunday. I’ve heard the warnings before but today was enough to make me act.

P.S. Took this photo after chucking brush into our big garbage bin. It was in a dark shed so I used my Iphone flash. I had no idea it would be such a an artsy photo!
