My husband was so proud of himself night before last when he brought home two ribeye steaks. We put them on the grill although it was 17 degrees outside.I made us both a baked potato and veggie. I set the table, even lighting a candle. It was so delicious, cooked just riight.
Around my third bite, when I swallowed the piece of steak, it didn't go very far. My first instinct was to get water and try to wash it down. When I took a drink, it came right back out my nose and mouth because it couldn't get through the meat. I was panicked but tried to stay calm. I thought to myself
Is this how I'm going to die. My husband tried the Himlik manuver, but nothing happened. I tried to swallow numerous times and it would just make a funny noise from my throat. My husband called 911 and here they came. The paramedics loaded me up and headed for the hospital, which is about 25 minutes away. It is a bumpy ride as a lot of it is on dirt roads.We were very close to the hospital when we hit a good bump and it went down.I swallowed that bite. I started to talk again and was so happy. They went ahead and took me in to make sure I could drink water. I did and I got to go home.
My husband said " Never a dull moment".
