2004-09-13 9:38 a.m. The other day, I almost died. Normally, that sentence is an exaggeration of the situation. For example: "The other day, I almost died. I had this HUGE hangnail, and it was trying to kill me." However, this time I�m serious. I took a multivitamin, and it got wedged in my throat. I couldn�t breathe, I couldn�t cough, and as I�m leaning over my kitchen sink trying to make myself spit it up, I actually thought "How ironic. I�m going to die choking on my vitamin." But, don�t worry, I managed to get it out and I�m not dead, but I�m a little wary of my pills now. previous next
