He won't forget that one either. His still works with measuring hazardous gasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have good spatial perception. So when my hubby would pass a vehicle on a narrow rocky one lane road when he had a flat tire and there was a steep cliff down on my side I was in terror. That was a habit of his. A suspension foot bridge also terrified me--500' drop and my kids were jumping on it making it gallop. Now that I am old I am also wary of falling. It's not easy to get up anymore. This morning I nearly asphyxiated. Something I swallowed blocked my airway. I could only inhale a tiny squeak, so I blew out as hard as I could. I was dizzy and near passing out when I finally could inhale a bit more, and slowly normal breathing returned. In spite of the fact that I would love to see Jesus, I was fighting to breathe. No big fear there. Just wishing hubby were there to pound on my back or do a Heimlick maneuver. Willa and everyone, when you feel like you are starting to choke, try giving a gigantic cough like you are hacking up some phlegm. I think it works similar to the Heimlich manuever. Worth a try....has worked for me. _--------------------------- About the topic, I don't like extreme heights such as being on top of a high building. But then, no real reason for me to be up there! I am fine with flying....love to fly. I also wouldn't want an MRI, going into that odd tube. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit her on her rear end. Probably a brown recluse. It caused a systemic reaction to the bite along with the normal tissue dying.... she came over to stay at our house to recover so my mom could watch over her..... she was in so much pain that I could hear her call out to my dad and beg him to kill her so she could stop hurting.... went on for about 5 days or so. Since then I have a really irrational fear of spiders. It is hard to describe how I feel if one gets on me anywhere. I spent lots of summer days and weekends on my grandparents farms and have been stung many times by wasps and bumble bees and ended up with a very rational fear of wasps and bees. Oddly enough honey bees don't make me loose control like wasps do. No spider should be allowed to exist that is thicker than a single piece of writing paper they should immediately be flattened out.

Fear helps me to make decisions,hopefully good ones, but every so often It has hampered me such is our walk in this life. After saying that I believe in what most here do; and there is comfort in that ; our Helper together with our conscience leads us. And I am fortunate no amount of turtle herds bother me. kevana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry this is off topic, but I guess you take smaller bites and chew thoroughly? Take your time. I do recall you have a health issue re your throat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
