Feeling a bit like Job... LOL. I was eating some fuji apple (canned) and either I didn't chew it well enough, or I am like, subconsicously trying to, ah, end my vape wins....

I didn't chew it properly and started to legitimately choke to death! Seriously, thank god my husband was around, and noticed, and knows the heimlick. I know it too, I even know how to do it to myself (use a chair, and a lot of force) but I have NEVER choked on something before, and was apparently in no state to do that *for* myself, I don't think I even... gave the universal choking sign (hand around neck) I just sat there, like a cat choking up a furball, only I'm not designed to do THAT.

It was all good, though, my husband was able to dislodge it, past my dentures, so he got major kudos from me and thanks..

Now, I know brushes with death often lead to relapse, so I was thrilled that (after the adrenaline rush wore off, and I could get up off the floor) I noted, "Wow, I bet that's exactly what COPD feels like, right before you drown," picked up my vape and kept on moving!

I'm totally not kidding and I'm starting to think I have nicotine quitting brain and should not be allowed *anywhere* without a keeper for like, a month or something. Maybe I'll ask my doc on Friday when he checks my cheek, I don't want to be handing out advice or therapy in *this* state, clearly.

So, we can call this vapemiracle #5, though I'm starting to get a bit sick of them!

Glad you're OK. Choking is never fun.

 

[stols001]

Thanks, Eskie, despite having been trained in CPR/First Aid more times than I can count, I've seen videos, but had NO idea how unfun it was. Oh well, I think I'm going to *practice* with a chair in case it ever happens again.... That, from my experience, must be a horrid way to go!

Well, on my part, when life gets like *this* (I'm going to blame it on quitting tobacco, I think) I pretty much end up sitting on the sofa and right now, I'm reading the interminable thread on deeming regs as it is quite interesting.... And I'm figuring out what I need to stock up on so that China doesn't start gouging me, as I'm QUITE sure that the black market will be available, just more expensive.... Yes, I'm totally FINE I'm just going to chill for a moment until whatever dysfunctional star constellation moves out of it's fifth house, or however that works, (never been much of an astrologer).

At least no venomous wildlife this time.

 

[stols001]

I hope the end isn't like Job where I get like a replacement family, and have to be all like, "Thanks god, you are my holy keeper for all time!" My prayer would be more like, "WTH, GOD, are you SERIOUS? You're omniescent, bring mine BACK!"

Well, yes, no wildlife! Things usually impove if I persevere, nothing's happened for HOURS now... I'm just recalibrating up to neutral

I thought the brown recluse is one of the most venomous things ever? I think she said one bit her face?

It was a spider, technically an arachnid, I guess that's an insect? A brown recluse. That said, I'd be equally happy classifying it as venemous *wild*life, as far as I'm concerned those things don't belong inside AT ALL though they often get there... The weird thing is, it could have been anytime, as the brown recluse bite doesn't usually hurt at first, you get that lovely event a while in? So, I could have been outside, even.

I had a happy vape time, remember those people you would smoke cigarettes with *intemperately and recklessly?* Maybe that's just me, but one of those ppl for me is my little brother who just moved from Tucson and I used to smoke intemperately with every time we got together, made it through a successful phone call without smoking.

When I came away from dealing with my mother in law and didn't immediately crave a smoke was when I knew vaping would work!

Not to bash all mothers in law - the people at the Betty Ford clinic told us she was the most extreme case of narcissistic personality disorder they'd ever seen.

I meant the reverse actually, we both smoke and I adore my brother, so it turns into an ashtray competition. That's somehow *harder* than my own MIL, who is.... Well, mostly I think she's nice. When she came to visit and started folding my husband's laundry FOR him, while instructing me "He has to work, he's tired," I was a bit antsy, and did not feel capable of restraining my response, "MIL, I work, just as hard as your son, and YOU usually do too... Why not let your grown son do it, because I won't, and fold your husband's laundry all you want, but you are technically on vacation, he can do it?" I needed a smoke then, because if she HADN'T stopped (I still do not know if she did) I might have been tempted to forcib- I mean gently guide her from the living room. But, she's from that "do everything I'm a feminist generation."

Sorry to hear of your troubles, Anna. I hope things turn around for you.
