Recently, it feels like it's getting harder and harder to keep me alive. It's not a deathwish or a accident prone lifestyle, it's my throat.
About a month ago, I had a fairly scary experience. At my wedding rehearsal dinner, I almost choked to death. Only the quick thinking of my wife and the quick action of one of my best friends, saw me through that.
I have to admit, it was also too fast to get scared, but for a few seconds, I was scared shitless.
Check out any of the promo photos for the fox show "House." Most of them feature the cast all looking down at the camera, looking like they're examining a patient. Funny enough, but while I felt my life draining out of my pores onto the floor, that the image that kept flashing into my mind's eye. My only thought was, I hope I wake up in the ER with a team like that over me, cause otherwise, I'm not waking up at all. It's a scary thought, and a little depressing, but at the time it didn't have a huge effect on me, not the way it would on most people.
