What I'll never do again...

What is it with the chatty friends? That cracks me up! Maybe they're just nervous and they think by talking non stop it will ease the anxiety? Sorry to hear about your choking episode! That sounds scary too! I think I'm a little shell shocked now I don't want solid food, but I'm sure that will pass huh? Hugs, Vi

Violet...it is so funny...exactly the same thing happened to me today!!.. It was my lunch and I started talking on the phone while eating some fish...I put one bite in, then the next, and the next...I forgot to chew chew chew... and was dying...I was going to call 911...I felt terrible pain..it was terrible!! I had never felt so bad..I thought I was going to die...and the worst part is I couldn't throw up...I had to stick my finger down my throat..and nothing would come out...finally like a teaspoon came out...(sorry for being so graphic) it made me feel only 5% better. It took a good 15 mins for me to feel ok... I will chew chew chew..and eat slow!

Hi Celia! I had the same reaction at first, where only the teaspoon came out and then when I went upstairs and went to the bathroom and kept walking around (thank goodness for that handicapped stall), the rest of it came up. I guess we have to learn to slow down girl! We're going to have to force ourselves to concentrate on eating and let the other stuff wait! HUGS, Vi

Celia, just a tip. When you have something stuck and can't get it up, try taking a few drinks of water. That sometimes will help it come up easier. That is what always works for me. Hugs, Dawn
