Panicing and 911 Do Not Mix

Did you ever have one of those days where you wished you could do everything over? Today was that day for me. It was the worst day in my whole entire life. Here is what happened. I gave my father some cereal for breakfast. He started eating it and then, all of a sudden, he started throwing it up. He kept throwing up and then he started choking. I finally called 911. It felt like an hour till they showed up but it was only minutes. I was home by myself other then my father and he was having trouble breathing and he could not talk. I was in full panic mode. The ambulance finally came and they started asking me questions like, "How long has he been throwing up?" and other questions like that. I was of no help to them at all. I hated that I was that pathetic under a crisis. It has been a horrible day and I need to take some time to think about what happened and how to make sure I never feel that helpless again.
