Alright, I'll admit it...I was scared. It doesn't happen often, but it sure did mess with my head.

I was eating the sandwich from hell tonight. I should have known that it wasn't going to go over too well when the place screwed up making it. I was already home when I opened it up and realized it was wrong, but thats not the point.

I was on the phone getting an earful from a client and eating the sandwich at the same time, and I started to choke. I've had food stuck in my throat before, but never to the point where I could completely not breathe.

I dropped the phone and was trying to figure out what to do. The first thing I did was the two hands on the neck, choking sign. That just made me feel stupid, because nobody was around but the dog, and he thought I was playing with him. Next I tried do drink something. I figured it could help clear my throat, but no. If anything it only made it worse.

The next bright idea actually worked, but really hurt. Well it still really hurts. I punched myself in the stomach, multiple times because it didn't work the first time. Just picture King Kong pounding on his chest, but replace King Kong with me and replace chest with stomach. Oh, and replace his triumph with my panicking and chaos.

Now for the good and bad news. I guess that the good news is that I'm still breathing. The bad news is that my stomach is bruised and it hurts every time I take a breath. Oh, and to top it off I dropped my sandwich.
