Lot of pain right now, let me tell you.

So I was eating, as one does. I was eating a plum. Didn’t make an attempt and it was still covered in a bit of flesh, but somehow swallowed the stone and for the last few hours I’ve been able to feel it moving through me, and it hurts quite a lot.

This is not something I recommend. Again, I have no idea how I swallowed it. I didn’t attempt to swallow it and I’m fairly certain I haven’t swallowed a plum stone before. It just got to the back of my mouth and went down, and that was that and now I’m here, and I want it to pass gently and quickly but that’s not going to happen and so I need to be really careful now. Need to take it easy and rest and all those things, but I can’t rest and I can’t take it easy, and so stubbornly I am pushing through this pain to do stuff that doesn’t need doing at this particular junction in time. Story of my life, or something.

But it really isn’t pleasant, and I can probably state that enough, but this experience really isn’t pleasant. The feeling of something moving around inside and it’s just causing a good deal of pain… it’s not something I’d recommend going through, ever.

So what do I do from here? I’ve gotten the thing across and now I go to rest… so I guess I go to rest. But it feels like a good afternoon lost for no real reason, and I know I can’t do much about that, but I will probably be kicking myself over it for a good three minutes. Maybe four, if I feel like indulging myself. But after that and before rest, I’ll probably finish this off and keep dealing with the pain, waiting for the stone to settle and hopefully that will be the end of it for a while. Of course, I don’t know. This could go south pretty fast, but I don’t want it to.

Rather be able to go to work tomorrow and get through the day, and not worry about whatever it is that’s inside of me, causing issues. Rather get on with the day and all that stuff. Rather not be incapacitated due to unintentional swallowing of a stone.

When I  saw that it was accidental, what happened was the stone covered in flesh ended up at the back of my mouth as I was swallowing. Didn’t force it there; it just kind of happened, and that’s why it sucks, but I’ll go rest and I’ll take it easy. I’ll get through the evening and see how I am in the morning. Might be worse; might be better. Might be neither.

But yeah; the pain is really not great, like most pain. How surprising. But I’ll get to the end of it and I’ll come out okay, I hope. Just need to get rest.

Not as fast as I’d hoped and that’s probably due to the pain.
