A couple of weekends ago, A. made a soup dish with some chicken breasts. Let me say that I am known to scoff food down, so that means I was not chewing my food the way I should have. To make a short story short, I got a piece of chicken stuck in my throat. At first I thought I would be able to get it down, so I kept swallowing. Before I knew it, I was in a life or death situation. I ran to the sink and tried to scream the meat out. That didnt work!
Anthony then came over and calmly performed the Heimlich maneuver on me. The meat was immediately dislodged and I was still alive. 3 things I learned:
1. A. still has my back, dont know that he never did. And I joke with A. that I owe him for at least one year.
2. More importantly, chew your food enough so that you can swallow!
3. Know how to perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself.
I dont like to think about what might have happened if A. had not been there. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PIECE OF FURNITURE NEARBY THAT IS THE APPROPRIATE HEIGHT THAT YOU CAN PUSH YOUR BODY UP AGAINST IN THE EVENT THAT THIS HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOU ARE ALONE!
