Heimlich to the Rescue

I bring  lunch everyday. This particular meal consisted of greens, some chicken and teeny-tiny potatoes the size of very small grapes in one dish. I believe in the one container lunch. The contents of the refrigerator goes directly in the bowl. Clamp on the lid...LUNCH!!!!!!

So there  I was, eating lunch with my colleagues, A teeny tiny potato slips down my throat or was it my airway. My table mates were repeatedly asking me if I was okay. I couldn't answer. I wasn't able to breathe, I wasn't able to get up or thrash around..I was able to shake my head. Someone got up , got behind me... The Heimlich maneuver works.

 I now cut those teeny-tiny potatoes in half before throwing them in my lunch 'pail'. I suggest you do the same.
