Wow. I didn’t expect so many people to respond to my last update. Thank you to @oliver, @devilndisguise, @jsawg, @anxietyattack66, and @invincible. Your words meant a lot to me.

Because so many people commented, I figured you might want a follow up update. Here’s how stuff turned out:

I’m doing a lot better now. I’m breathing well, although I’m more out of breath than I should be. I can’t hold my breath or breathe deeply, though. My head hasn’t stopped hurting, but the Advil keeps the pain to a minimum. I do have some chest pain still, which resides somewhere between my stomach, my diaphragm, and my lungs. I can’t tell you the exact location; it’s not static. I’m probably not going to see a doctor or go to the emergency room, but don’t worry: if anything sudden happens, our neighbor works as an urgent care doctor. I’m heading back to school today, and I can go to the nurse if anything happens.

Overall, not feeling great from the choking/vomiting/near-death experience. As you can guess, it was not fun.

To those mentioned above: thank you so much for commenting. It really showed me that you care about me, and that means a lot to me. Love you guys <3 Hope you have a great day.
