Scary moment ………

This happened on Monday night …… frightened the bejesus out of me.

I was cooking dinner, and watching Top Gear. Something terribly funny happened, and I burst out laughing.

So far ….. nothing scary huh?

Well the problem I had ….. is that I had taken a big mouthful of water just as I laughed ….. so I sucked all that water straight into my lungs.

I have only ever had that feeling once before, and adrenalin took care of the water quick smart (ie …. I chucked it up).

This time, I was just standing in the kitchen, with this awful, bubbley, savage wheeze …. trying to convince my husband I needed help ….. and desperately trying not to panic.

So … twice in my life I have felt like I have been drowning.
I don’t think I need to do it again.
