I have a normal morning ritual which includes taken several supplements. One of them is a multivitamin. It's not a particularly large pill, but it isn't coated. This morning it got stuck in my throat. Felt like it was sideways. At first I hurt but I could somewhat breath. I started to dry heave uncontrollably, my bodies way of trying to dislodge the obstruction. I walked to the bathroom and really started heaving over the toilet but I felt it lodge and I was only able to make very small gasps for air. My son's room is right across the hall from the bathroom so I managed to walk to his door. He was on his computer and as I opened the door he could see the look on my face as I motioned to my throat. He could hear me gasping but unable to get a breath. I was at the point I couldn't breath. He immediately jumped up and gave me the Heimlich maneuver. It took about 8-10 thrusts and then the multivitamin popped out. My son saved my life!
He was suppose to be at his college class today but had a cold over the weekend and decided to stay home. He would have been at class when this occurred. The Lord knew I was going to need him today! I was very grateful of course but also very proud of him. He didn't panic and immediately jumped into the mode of doing something positive.
My throat is a bit sore/raw feeling but it will heal. Thank you Lord and thank you son
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.
Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot weather this storm". The warrior replies, "I am the storm".
My uses: Heimlich - upscale restaurant in North Hollywood, cA
CPR uses: Beijing Airport. Only three people knew what to do. LA County fireman, his girl friend and myself. 7 minutes - and we brought him back, most certainly with brain damage. No ambulance, no EMT - this is the PRC. Wife: -put him on the plane. Me- tell her. Fireman - we can do it here, we can't do it at 35,000 feet! I felt that the Fireman should get acknowledged so I got him a citation from the County when we got back to the US.

great that your able to write the post !!
I definitely feel it was a 'God thing' and the Lord was watching over me. It hurt a lot. And when it lodged I just couldn't get any air at all. Fortunately my son's room was right there across the hallway. As soon as I opened the door we made eye contact as he was sitting at his computer. He immediately knew I was in distress and responded without hesitation. Very thankful!

I crush the non-coated tablets now and put them in water.
