Man Nearly Died by Shipping Himself to Girlfriend (As a Romantic Gesture)
AsiaOne ^ | Tuesday, Sep 04, 2012

A man from Chongqing in Southern China nearly suffocated to death after a romantic gesture to his girlfriend went wrong.

Mr Hu Seng had asked his friend to tape him into a box so he could ship himself via a courier service to his girlfriend, Li Wang.

However, the romantic gesture turned into a life-threatening event for Mr Hu when the courier company mixed up the address with another delivery.

The 30-minute wait turned into a three-hour ordeal for Mr Hu.

The material of the box was reportedly too thick for him to make any breathing holes while inside and he did not want to spoil the surprise by calling for attention.

When the box arrived at Li Wang's place, his friend was poised to record the event.

However, they found Mr Hu unconscious and looking pale upon opening the package.

Subsequently, paramedics were called over to her apartment to revive him.

He admitted, "I didn't realise it would take so long."

The courier company said they would not have accepted this delivery if they had known there was a person inside.

The spokesperson said that even for animals, a special container would be used so they can breathe properly.

Alice is back to his lovable self.

Now that’s he always in the living room with me, he often curls up on my lap and rests his head on the keyboard while I’m FReeping.

He really likes YouTube, too.

Octopus is delicate and often overcooked. t
Try calamari... in panko bread crumbs. So light and yet has substance... don’t forget the marinara sauce.

" today it’s the left arm. Wish I could amputate..... pain is outrageous."

Your pain sounds unusual, and I have not heard you mention it before.

Heart attacks in women are often misdiagnosed, or missed. You could be a candidate. If no other explanation seems apparent, consider this and please have it checked.

Even if another explanation is available, it should not be ignored.

In the meantime, lacking any other suggestion to offer, consider taking an aspirin or two. It may not help with the pain, or it might, but it could also open small blood vessels to improve your circulation temporarily. Circulation usually helps with pain, too.

I often take aspirin if I suspect muscle strains and overuse. It relaxes the muscles, fights inflammation, relieves pain and restores circulation. One might suspect that God intended us to use it more often.

Mental note: Get back in Odhinn’s good graces (perhaps a bit of cheese?) so he can discourage further use of the Kitteh Stink Eye.

Thanks! Ash is enjoying Piper’s company, since she doesn’t have to sweep up the fur ;-).

You might also try some orange juice off and on during the day, as it also helps to open capillaries. But DO get checked for your arm.

I’ve had angina for 35+ years, and although my heart is very strong, my circulation is poor, and has been since I was a short person. Still, if I experience anything unusual (for me) I have it checked.

You are in my prayers!

You could fill it with dirt and plant a flower.

That would work...

I’m nearly finished with the projects. When do you need them? I will finish off and assemble what I have, and if there is time, I will add a couple more.

Dunno.

How was your circulation before you became a short person?
