I choked on my dinner
Permalink Closed

One minute I was happily eating my dinner and the next I couldn't breath at all.  I kept trying to cough but no air was going in and out so after frantically wandering around and pounding my abdomen I started slamming myself into the kitchen counter and bit-by-disgusting-bit the food came out.  If it didn't work after a few seconds I was going to start knocking on neighbors' doors! 

Thankfully the only lasting effect is that my asthma is acting up and I'm exhausted.  And hungry because now I'm afraid to eat anything else tonight!

Anyway, just a PSA - make sure you know how to do the Heimlich on yourself and have a backup plan in place!

Ugh, yes, I live alone so this is one of my constant fears! I feel ok, just kind of weak and a bit freaked out.

How scary! You're actually the second person I've heard this happening to lately! That's really one of the biggest fears I have in life. I'm glad you're okay.

I think you've just invented the Heimlich diet.

Seriously though, good thinking on your part. I am going to pass this along to everyone I know who lives alone.

Hey cc--

I hardly ever check in here anymore, but this is a scary story!  I'm glad you are okay--there are definitely certain things that are worrisome living by yourself.   Anyway,  I've been thinking of you and meaning to e-mail--I'll get to it this week.

wow how scary! I'm so glad you're okay!

that happend to me once with a freakin jolly rancher. I was at the house with only my then 6month old baby and I couldn't breath. I ended up hitting my back against the wall hard to try and get it out and thank God that worked. It scares me to think that my baby would have been by himself for so long if I would have choked to death!

Now my 2nd child has had these issues too. My husband has saved his life twice and I've saved it twice so far too. And hes only 6 years old!
the last time we saved it was on the Las Vegas strip. He was sucking on a piece of candy and we just stopped in the middle of it and had to do the H-method on him again.

Its so scary not being able to breath and talk, ugh. I'm SO glad you're okay again!

Glad to hear you are doing well!

On a sidenote, this reminds me of the Sex and the City episode where Miranda chokes on her dinner while she is alone in her apartment.  Scary!
