I Almost Choked To Death Last Night

Pretty much the title. Me and my boyfriend were sat in bed watching a movie and eating Chinese food when I began choking on a potato. Yeah, of all the things to have claim your life, for me it was nearly a potato.

I instinctively jumped out of bed and my boyfriend instantly realised what was going on, and I couldn’t even breathe or talk, that’s how lodged in the chunk of food was. He immediately began helping me by hitting my back and was about to do Heimlich when after about 15-20 seconds I finally managed to cough the food up.

We were both shaking after the incident as we had both gotten a real fright off it, but my God am I thankful to be alive this morning. It made me realise the truly transient nature of life. And I am so grateful for my handsome and beautiful partner who helped to save my life :)
