Proof positive I am going to die alone

I just choked on my dinner. Bad. My airway was completely blocked and I was physically incapable of coughing it up. I tried. I couldn't breath and was starting to panic and get dizzy. Just as I was ready to dial 911 I was able to "scoop" the food out using finger. Yes, I know full well that I could have lodged it in further, but I was in a full on panic. I really didn't want to die on my living room floor choking on a french fry. My kids are all at there Dad's, there was no one home except my dog. Sigh.

    You can give yourself the Heimlich by making a fist and placing it right under your sternum, wrapping the other hand around it. Press your hand hard against the back of a chair until the food is dislodged.

    Scary stuff.

    That happened to me once, with a tortilla chip. Scariest thing ever! I was also home alone. Luckily the chip started to soften and dissovle and I was able to get it out, but its definitely a scare!

    I didn't eat while home alone for a long time after that. It freaked me out pretty bad.

    It's proof positive you won't!

    Ditto the chair thing.

    You know those candies, "Nips" (horrible name for a candy)?  I love them, but can't eat them bc those slippery things have almost killed me twice. Waiting for hard caramel to melt slightly while waiting to die sucks,
