The feeling of swallowing and trying to clear your airway and not being able to is terrifying. The ER cardiologist told my wife and I that if it hadn't shocked me, I would've died before the EMTs would've arrived. My ex told him he was “just joking” & the trucker told me to get back into the car & told my ex he’d better take me back to town & he’d follow us. Had the car not hit a sigh post a Range Rover would have rolled over my head. And, while I didn’t come close to falling over, I’m extremely lucky my clumsiness or a sneeze didn’t take over.
