I will say right up front that this post should label me as a bad human 😉😉
My dear brother-in-law is a retired police officer who served St. Louis and surrounding burbs well for decades. This man is INTO safety. He has a history of giving safety equipment as Christmas gifts. Last year he gave us fire blankets, which my husband dutifully placed on top of our refrigerator. I'm thinking the house would burn down by the time I got the blanket into action.
With this gifting history, it is always a bit suspenseful to open this year's item. It is a Choking Rescue Device. This prompted me to ask, "What happened to the Heimlich maneuver?" I have not actually held the Device or read any instructions. I have, however, (bad human) laughed hysterically. "Where do we put it? It should be on the dinner table so it's handy if we need it. Otherwise, we'd have to find it and we would probably be dead by the time we remembered where it was." "Can you use it on yourself?" "Yet another thing we didn't know we should be worried about." I absolutely know my b-i-l means well, and my husband will graciously thank him for both of us. Who knows? It may come in handy one day, if we can find it!!!
You, too, can be a "PREPARED HERO!!"
