One unfortunate side-effect of chemo medication is uh... uncontrollable burping. I suppose this is all connected with the hiccoughing and acid reflux - it must play havoc on your gastric system. Now I will tut tut as much as anyone who belches in public, but I have to admit that I secretly envy loud, echo-inducing burps as they do sound so very satisfying. Especially as I don't have the talent to simulate one either. (One thing I most remember about living in Barcelona was paying a man in Las Ramblas 50 pesetas to burp out loud. As you do.)
However, I no longer feel left out, as I can now belch like a man who has just finished a 'drink as much soda' competition. After all, as we used to always say as children, 'Why f*rt and waste it when you can burp and taste it?'. Yes, why indeed...
Am I the only one thinking that you should plan a trip to Las Ramblas right about now? That's quite a unique industry they have there...
ReplyDeletewhy burp and taste it when you can f*rt and share it....
ReplyDeletewrrrooooaaauuuugggghhhhhrrrphh...aaaahhhh!!! what's a pissetta?
ReplyDeleteI once went to my doctors with a similar, rather embarrassing problem. After half an hour of me producing the 'evidence'of my problem the doctor excused himself and left the room. He returned moments later with a huge pole with a hook on the end.
ReplyDelete'OMG what are you going to do with that?' I exclaimed.
'Open the bl**dy window' came his reply!
LOL
ReplyDeleteCan you burp the alphabet? If I recall correctly, Alan once made it to 'G' - Lito
ReplyDeleteNautot na ako pagdating sa "H". Oops, sorry, must follow Reuters protocol pala:
ReplyDeleteNautot na ako pagdating sa "H" (I made an audible discharge of intestinal gas upon reaching the letter "H")
Better out than in, top-side than down low. Besides, there's always the risk of doing a "shart"... Meds :D
ReplyDeleteFor once I am left speechless..........
ReplyDeleteI can burp on demand. We can have a competition at the next chemo session.....
ReplyDelete>>opps! i noticed my entry was deleted (for any reason i must respect the negative part and it is surely considered not welcomed)..pardon me for the unsolicited comment and it was perhaps an intrusion in the privacy of this blog.. sorry lang po. It was just a pinoy's relatively manner of concern (nangingialam bah?), but i just stumbled this thing (evil-crab) on a local newspaper and caught my interest .. anyway, i am sorry chinot.. i promise this would be the last and you can erase this after reading.. may the ever powerful God Almighty heal you and end all of your afflictions.<<
ReplyDeleteHi Ed U - I'm sorry I had to delete your previous comment - it was only because you mentioned a web page advertising products I would not recommend to cancer sufferers. This blog is not private - which means it is open to comments and in fact, I do welcome them! So keep them coming (just don't mention any other 'miracle drug' links!)
ReplyDeleteA 'shart'??? What the hey, I've been left speechless too...
ReplyDelete>>ok Chinot... well taken... but i do still hope i can get in touch with you on other medium (aside from this blog) to let you know that 'it' is not a drug if you can have time to read all about it. This is just a way to give anything a chance in relation to this 'evil-crab'. Thanks and be well. Have a good day and GBU.<<
