Remedy…..

I got into bed last night just before 10:00, put my head on the pillow and started to hiccup! I can’t remember the last time this happened but these hiccups were “serious” and my head was literally bouncing with each one. I took some deep breaths….changed position but every ten seconds or so another one “hit”. I thought to myself  “ I will never fall asleep with these!” I quickly checked one site on line and it said to breathe into a paper bag……and I haven’t had a paper bag in my condo for months. I got up for a drink of water….back to bed….hiccup!

Dave told me to try some sugar water. So out of bed, down to the kitchen for a spoonful….and back to bed. Hiccup! Then Dave pulled out his phone….checked another site and told me to get some peanut butter. I was very skeptical but I had been “bouncing” for over ten minutes and I wanted to go to sleep. So back out of bed, down the hall, teaspoon out of the drawer, peanut butter out of the cabinet and I put a spoonful into my mouth.

Magic! It worked immediately! Who knew….another reason to like peanut butter.
