My boss had an episode on Christmas Eve. He still hasn't told me yet, but his son told me they were sitting at the dining table and all the sudden his dad turned a pale gray / green color, his eyes rolled back and to the left then his body started twisting out of the chair, completely incoherent. Friend said if he didn't catch his Dad that he would have fell into their china cabinet. Friend thought his dad was dying in his arms! Paramedics came first thing they asked was if he was vaxed and then was treating it like a death and had the whole neighborhood blocked off. Friends dad spent a day in the hospital and the prognosis was dehydration / fatigue (yea right). Soooooo, now friends dad is out to prove to everyone he's perfectly healthy and has been backcountry skiing every single day since this happened. Now he's going scuba diving next week! Apparently the whole family is worried it is gonna happen again, and have been fighting him tooth and nail to not scuba dive and to not ski alone.
Anyone else have something like this happen to their friends or family?
At least he will die doing something fun.
We're just not wanting to find him next april frozen to the ground. My friend found a list of his covid shots and it has 7 dates on it!
A person becomes addicted to drugs and OD's. It is sad, but their choice in the end.
With addicts you can waste a lot of breath. At the end of they day they need to arrive at a realization that they need to change. If they get to that point, you can be there to help. You will build only frustration if you are in the mix before that pivot point.
You can quit cocaine after 20 years of abuse but the damage is already done. There's no such thing as quitting and still getting out clean. Look at smoking.
