When and how was the last time you almost died?

About 2,5 years ago for me. Barely avoided being squashed under tons of heavy machinery. Strange how narrow the path of living is sometimes.

I almost choked to death on a piece of rib meat that got stuck in my throat. My wife and I were panicking, I couldn't breathe...I started to black out...then it started to clear and went down...I was able to get sipping breathes, then eventually it cleared.

It traumatized me for several years...I couldn't talk about it for a long time...I am very VERY careful when I eat now...I take small bites, chew slowly and methodically...and I have never had barbecue ribs since that happened.

@SumKindaMunster Go to Amazon and look at Lifevac . Even if you are alone, you can save yourself from choking.

We have several of those, and the paramedics swear by them.

@TexChik Thank you. I had no idea these existed.

@SumKindaMunster dayum. Not being able to breathe is painful. I was choking once and my girls were pulling me out of my chair before I even knew what was happening.
