Andi Norton of Phoenix has suffered from sinus problems, asthma, and sleep apnea for many years. Norton assumed it was because of their many allergies. But recently, they had a life-changing experience in the shower. Norton's doctor recommended blowing their nose while in the shower, but this time a tiny hard object came out and clattered on the shower floor. Cleaning it off revealed what it was.
"It was a piece of Lego," they said. "Suddenly, the memory of something I had completely forgotten about in my adult life came flooding back to me."
Back in 1998, when Norton was around six years old, they decided the nose would be a good place to store a LEGO dot piece. But then Norton couldn't get it out again. You might wonder why the parents didn't get involved, but they did. See, young Norton hatched a plan to retrieve the LEGO dot which will remind you of the old woman who swallowed a fly. What better way to get the LEGO piece out than to use more LEGO pieces as a tool? You can read how that mission spiraled out of control at Newsweek. Or listen as Norton tells the story at Instagram. Norton is planning to see a doctor for a followup, but has already reported being able to breathe easier and enjoy clear sinuses for the first time in a quarter century. -via Fark
