I ALMOST DIED.
Actually,
I KIND OF CHOKED AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO VOMIT. And then I thought the pill had gone down the wrong tube and that I was going to get cancer and die.
I hate when that happens.
No, really, this happens to me a lot. I choke on many things. More than average I'm sure. One of the reasons I eat so slowly. Plus, I'm a bit of a hypochondriac so I thought of all the things that could happen to me and I believed them all of them for half a second. Well, I still kind of feel like it went down the wrong tube.
This time I swallowed a pill that was truly unnecessary. I felt an illness looming ahead. Random bouts of sneezing and runny noses. So, I decided to look at the pills we have lying around and I saw the Costco brand Centrum-a multivitamin thing and saw that it had a lovely amount of Vitamin C.
Why not just take it, right?
However, I was slightly put off by the size.

It's fucking thick.

I've had trouble with thick pills before. Specifically, something called fish oil or something like that. It's yellow and mean. Last time I attempted to swallow that I choked. Thankfully my powerful diaphragm blew that motherfucker out of me. My dog ate it shortly after.
Anyways, this Centrum wannabe pill-though very intimidating-convinced me with it's bounty of Vitamin C to attempt to put it in my body. So I put it in my mouth and decided to swallow it quickly. As it came to the middle of my throat I freaked out because I felt it's hugeness...
You know, I just realized how this easily can be turned into some erotica.
Moving on! I decided then and there that I was choking though Daniel and Jairo assured me that I wouldn't be able to talk if it was in my windpipe but I still coughed and flailed around.
I wondered if I was going to vomit. I did not. And obviously, I did not die. But I will never do that again. I will get my nutrients elsewhere. I'll buy orange juice or I might go a bit crazy and buy some actual oranges.

What i do is put liquid (like orange juice, something tastey) in my mouth than pop the pill and swallow, if the pill is big, eat something right after it to push it down.
