Tribute to Shrddr
« on: October 17, 2011, 07:12:36 PM »
My kid brother DWShrddr just saved my life.

We were eating and a piece of bread got lodged in my throat.  I stood up and went to the kitchen sink to try to throw up.  When I realized that I needed help, I signaled for the Heimlich Maneuver.  He immediately came to my rescue and grabbed me from behind and felt my feet be lifted from the ground as he bear hugged me.  I expelled that piece of bread.

I remember my 1 year old nephew becoming really scared at the commotion.  My family calmed him down.

I had to lay down for 30 minutes to regain my strength.  My body ached all over.  My family told me I was quite pale for several minutes and contemplated sending me to the ER.  I told them I was recovering and just needed some rest.

Over 90 minutes later, I still feel some pain in my body but it's slowly ebbing away.


To my brother, Eric, thank you for saving my life. :salute


A few years earlier, my dad had to do the same thing for me, but that's another story.

Glad you're ok.  Big salute to Shrddr.  Hopefully he won't constantly remind you that you owe him your life...   :D
