I'm sure it must have been disturbing for you mate but the anxiousness will pass, you're probably still in a bit of shock, combined with being in unfamiliar surroundings it's bound to upset you. Try to relax and enjoy the break without being too stressed about it, easy to say I know.

Lem sweetheart, I hope you're feeling a bit less anxious about it now, but it is a terrifying experience it's only natural that you're going through this now.
As the others have suggested, ensure everything is cut small and when you get back go on a First Aid course

As an aside, Dr. Heimlich (now in his 90's) who invented the manoeuvre and has been teaching it to first aiders for decades, actually used it "in the field" earlier this year. An 80 year old lady was choking in the nursing home where he lives and he performed his namesake action and saved her life. Prior to this, he had never actually done it FOR REAL!
I liked the quote from the staff - something like "Usually we deal with all choking incidents, but... it was Dr. Heimlich!"Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
