Well, it was an eventful weekend, to say the least.
Saturday [livejournal.com profile] hellbob & I joined [livejournal.com profile] mhuot, [livejournal.com profile] dragonsden, [livejournal.com profile] shrique, and GunBoy at John's house to help John's sister with the computer stuff. It was strange for me & Rick because we had never been to John's house while he was still alive.
Afterwards we went to Timberlodge for a steak dinner & a round of one of John's favorite root beers. It was all going pretty well until I was just about done with my steak. I had just taken a bite & was chewing it when it somehow jumped down the back of my throat. It was completely blocked and I could not breath at all. Just as I was realising that it wasn't moving a woman across the aisle noticed my problem & I also hit Rick to get his attention. He did the Heimlich. It took 2 or 3 tries but he got the steak loose. I was just shaking becuase I was so scared. I was also completely embarrassed. The restaurant was FULL & we were right near the lobby where there was also a large crowd of people waiting. You know in the movies, when someone is choking & after they do the Heimlich whatever they were choking on flys out & bounces off the walls & into someones drink? No. Your abdomen is getting squeezed so you also throw up. Like I said, scared but embarrassed.
So Sunday I just layed around, developed a roll of film and watched a lot of tv.

Oh my gosh! That's horrible. Glad it all turned out ok though, embarrassment aside.

It was scary, but it wasn't until Monday that it really hit me that death was a possibility. Thank all the gods for big strong Ricks!

Hey, I was working on organising the back room and I started going through a box of high school stuff. I've got a pile of notes from you I'm just dying to read!

Mwah-ha-ha-ha!!!!

I wonder if I want to know what I said...

[identity profile] hellziggy.livejournal.com 2005-02-17 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. If I find anything good I won't blackmail you too much...

Now I really *am* afraid. :) Might be good for a laugh, though!

How's Hellbob? I bet he was pretty scared, too..after everything was okay. Oed_1 and I are really glad that you are alright. When we heard, we couldn't believe it. That's a pretty major experience. Betcha won't have another steak for awhile! Next time let's all go to Red Lobster or something.
