OMAHA, Neb. - An Omaha man struggling to breathe used a steak knife to perform an at-home tracheotomy. Steve Wilder said he thought he was going to die when he awoke one night last week and couldn't breath.

Gaaah! Who here thinks you could do the same?

I hope I could, but I don't know. :::shudders:::

Whoa... no way!!!

Gawd! I have the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.

On another note, who is editing Yahoo's stories? (I know, I'm anal.)

Pretty lucky he missed anything vital!

Lord, I cannot imagine. Seeing a steak knife coming at my throat???

Nope. Don't think I could do it.

But then again, I haven't been in his particular situation, either. Who knows what we're capable of?

Don't thank God. Thank himself.

The steaks were high and he had to act fast.

Wao, this is one brave guy. But I'm not surprise, you can do anything possible to save your life if you really believe you are going to die.

This is the SECOND time he's done this.

I guess it gets easier...
