I GOT STUCK!

Wow.  I knew the day would come.  I've been uncomfortable before, but tonight I actually had food get stuck.  I had two "chickenless nuggets."  This was during a big thunderstorm - my power was out, the dog was freaking out, and I was just happy that I had dinner ready before I lost power.  I ate two of them, realized that I ate them too quickly because I felt a little bit full.  I set the plate down to make myself slow down.

I started salivating a lot.  Then I felt like someone had their fist up the back of my throat.  I think the thunderstorm drama probably got me nervous and the band tightened.  The rest of the details are graphic, so if you're grossed out easily, quite reading now.  This is for the benefit of my bandster friends, so if they haven't had it happen, they'll know what it's like.

I can't say that I actually vomited.  There was no liquid whatsoever.  It is hard to dry heave up food!  I think I only did the dry heaves a few times, then got a little up, then a little more.  I felt my throat relax a bit, so I got some warm water and took two large sips.  Then I was in shock.  There was just too much going on and I didn't chew my food.  It was very scary though...I had to breathe through my nose because I felt like I was choking.

I waited a half hour or so and tried a tiny bite.  Five minutes later it was fine, so I ate the rest of my chickenless nuggets.  Ack.  It sucked.
