Remember how I live for excitement!!!!!!!..........

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

My most exciting moment this evening was when I had my sister with me. She is 44 and was in the mini van with me when I was picking up two of my kids at the high school. We were talking and she opened a Hersheys Kiss and popped it in her mouth and a couple seconds later started choking!!! She could not get her breath, and I asked if she was ok, then she pointed at the Kiss bag so I spun her around in her seat and gave her a big squeeze! It wasn't working meanwhile the kids show up wondering what is going on! I was thinking 911, squeezed again, she barely got a word HELP out, one more squeeze and choke spit etc.... Now she is breathing again! This was all done while never getting out of the van! Never lost my cool, and have no funeral to attend! WHEEEEW! YUP! I live for excitement! Bummer about the wasted Hersheys Kiss!

Congratulations on the successful Heimlich maneuver! You kept your "cool" and so averted a potential tragedy! I hope your sister is OK now.

and another guy organized a "Friends and Family" CPR and "Solid Airway Obstruction Clearing" training at our Church. Dr, Heimlich has passed away and his family wants a royalty everytime the manuver is mentioned in a teaching format so the term is no longer used. The guys also taught the use of the new portable defibrolater devices. Anyone can use them, just put the paddles (sticky pads) on and the machine figures out what needs to or doesn't need to be done. Turn it on and stand clear. Oh yeh, doing the infant compression model is scary for me. I am concerned about too much pressure. Ask one of the firedepartments nearby if they would volunteer? Friends and Family get a small card but aren't Red Cross certified. They can still get the job done. Anyone on this forum could do the same thing. CMDF.
May God Bless!

but funny in a way. I have had to do a Heimlick Maneuver on my 2nd wife twice...once was on our honeymoon at Mackinac City. Had to save her ya know...how does one explain to the parent their daughter choked on pizza while lying on her stomach in bed and talking while watching TV...on her honeymoon! Sheeez.

Ok time for the dole drums to set in...between that situation, fire trucks at your Mom's, etc....you need to chill out for awhile.

This is the PM I sent to Mike...yeah I know it is a bit off color to say the least...and let me apologize right now if I should offend anyone because of it.

Never Choke in a restaurant in the South

Two hillbillies walk into a bar. While having a shot of whisky, they talk
about their moonshine operation.

Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to
cough. And, after a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real
distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?'

The woman shakes her head no.

Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'

The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her
drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue. The
woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies
out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly
back t o the bar.

His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver'
but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

If you don't send this to five friends, there will be five fewer people
laughing in the world!
