Swallowed pen found after 2 decades

An elderly 76 year old British woman was referred to a doctor after she lost alot of weight and developed diarrhea. The doctors did a CAT scan and found a pen in her stomach. The doctors of course where shocked and had to remove it threw surgery. When she was questioned about it, I guess 25 years earlier she was looking at her tonsils and accidentally swallowed it. For all of you reading this, please do not check anything in your mouth or even your body with a pen. IF for some reason you do and you happen to "lose it" please visit your doctor. This elderly lady did tell her husband and her doctor but nothing was found 25 years earlier. This did not cause her any health problems in the 25 years that it was in her stomach but no one knows if it led to her current health problems. There have been a few other cases like this, but nothing quite like this.


  Since we are speaking about upset stomachs I thought I'd throw in some of my favorite tea! Yogi Tea is caffeine free and Natural!
