Tonight Margaret choked on some peanut butter. In the span of like five seconds:
- We're talking
- Margaret's being kind of quiet
- She's being very quiet
- oh shit she's choking
- ... I guess I should do the heimlich now???
Which I did, relatively lightly, and that dislodged the blockage without too much fuss. But uh, that was kind of scary and an experience I did not expect to have.
I see that slapping the choking person on the back is the recommended first step, so I'll try to remember that if it ever comes up again. Which I hope it won't.
