It's amazing what a little panic can cause. Quick back story. Last night, supper, hungry, eating to fast, choking, nuff said right? Needless to say, I didn't enjoy this. Lesson learned, slow down and don't wolf down your food, and when %$#^ happens, your training will kick in.
Thanks to both our first aid training ( mandatory to become a black belt ) and the thought process that Kung Fu enables, I only panicked a little then took immediate action and unchoked myself. Painful and unnerving, but a great lesson on both what to do and what not to do. While standing over the sink trying to figure out what was happening, I ran through the choking lessons from our first aid training. As I did, the calmness of my Kung Fu training allowed me to not freak out and think my way to unplugging my pie hole. It was gross, it was unnerving, it was painful, but here I am.
I will guarantee you that without both the first aid training and the mental/physical awareness that Silent River has given me, things would have been very different. Thanks for that Silent River, you are literally a life saver.
I guess I also owe my Mommy and Wifey an apology for not listening when they were always telling me to "slow down and chew your food". Lesson learned, now pass the pie, I'm really hungry.
P.S. I could also see that both Deb and Kody where 100% ready to jump and help in if I needed them, thanks family, you rock!
