Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone of you and your families.
May you have a safe and happy day.
As Kevin would say oh no here goes Queen and one of her short stories.
About 6 years back we were eating at my sister in-laws, she lived in an apartment complex. She invited the guy next door to eat because he did not have any family that lived close enough around to go spend it with. So anyway he came over to eat. We all were setting around eating and watching football game. He got a funny look on his face. I knew right then he was choking. I got up and asked him if he was choking. He just looked at me. I said speak to me. Still just a look. I then pulled him up from the chair. (I swear he wieghed nothing but he was a big man. It was like he was light as a feather.) I turned him around and put my arms around him and started pushing up. Now here is the part they never warned you about in class. It took about 3 times then turkey and all came up and out. Yuk. But anyway he took a deep breath and looked at everyone and said Hells fire I was choking and she saved me.
I never dreamed when I took all those first aid classes and CPR classes as a joke in college for an easy A, I would ever use them. Please take the time to learn both and someday you maybe able to help someone out also that's in trouble.
I have used what I learned in those joke classes lots of times. One time on somebodies whos sugar had dropped and was choking on bubble gum. Got the gum out and then got orange juice down them.
Other time on fellow that was on motorcycle and van hit him I made him lay still and held his hand and talked to him so he would not roll around and do more harm to himself.
If you ever see somebody in trouble do something do not assume someone else will do it first.
Take a first aid class or CPR class at the local Red Cross you just might help somebody some day too.
May you have a safe and happy day.
