This happened to me many years ago!. Oh Sweetie I feel for you! I ate a piece of steak that was too tough and tried to swallow, and choked!. It is scary! I think you are having a bit of "post traumatic stress" from this, and it will eventually pass in time!. But until then, you do need to acknowledge it and be conscious of what you do eat, because the anxiety itself can cause you to swallow improperly and that will just make it worse and worse! Just don't eat anything like roast beef or steak that might be hard to swallow!. You don't have to stick to broth, but just eat stuff that's a bit easier to chew!. well, the butter noodles shouldn't have been too hard!. Perhaps you can ask your doctor to temporarily give you some anxiety medication, or something, just to relax you enough to get through this!. I have had panic disorder throughout my life, and something like this can certainly bring it on!. You can feel so out of control, and at your age, what with the other stuff going on in your body, you are probably a bit more prone to anxiety! You need someone to be supportive and understanding for you right now, and I hope your grandma can be!. Maybe your grandma can go with you to the doctor to discuss it to help her understand that right now you really can't control these feelings!. I fear that not going on this cruise because of it could just make it worse!. So what's the harm if you go anyway and eat soft food!? They probably have some really great food that you would be comfortable eating!. You WILL be fine, you could also try some simple relaxation techniques, like deep breathing, meditating, or praying, if you are religious, ask for help from your higher source!. Good Luck!

Before you eat sit down for a while and tell yourself that you're not going to choke!. If you have doubts after that make sure there is someone there while your eating that way you re-assure yourself that if you do choke someone will be there!. Just think about this as a test and take it slowly deffinately don't rush while your eating!. I hope my advice has helped you and I hope you are well for the cruise!.
