saved some junkies life the other night and it opened my eyes to a problem on my street i didn't know existed.
i was home alone with the boys and my middle son and i were playing on the couch in our front room. i saw a lady walk out from her garage across the street to her car in the driveway. i've never seen her before but thought nothing of it. next thing i know my middle son says 'oh no, she fell down' and i look out to see her on her back convulsing next to her car.
i jump up and bolt over across the street. i figured she was having a seizure and was going to help. when i was maybe 20 feet away she froze and stopped moving. it was only until i was up close did i see she was a heroin addict od-ing in my neighborhood. eyes wide open, no pulse,... holy fuck. i scream over to my neighbors house because he's a retired surgeon. he runs out with his 30 something son and i'm yelling to call 911. i start in with chest compressions and we call out the time. it was at this point i noticed my two older sons standing in our front door going ballistic.
we quickly decide i should go back to call 911 from my house and calm the boys. i hit the adt health alarm and call 911 while hugging the boys.
when the emt arrive no shit, just like from the movies, i see the emt slam his fist into her chest and she sits straight the fuck up wide awake. nalcor. nalcom? something like that.
emt said had i not showed up she would have died. :/
find out the nice lady's son is a heroin addict. he and his gf came over high as fuck and she argued with them and kicked them out. this fucking addict was out of her mind high going ot drive through my neighborhood. unbelievable. at any given night there could be 5-7 kids playing in our cul de sac. it's terrifying.
so now i find myself looking out the window more often watching for cars and action across the street. it probably doesn't help that i just started re-watching breaking bad last week and now i'm hyper aware.
- crazy.Al_dizzle
- So the lady and her son+gf are all adicts?pango
- good on you for saving a life, Kona!Krassy
- i believe the mom only smokes pot. i've always had nice convos with her and doesn't show any signs of heroin.kona
- the son and gf are addicts and both have pretty long police records.kona
- Good way to talk to your kids about how serious drugs can effect people. If they are old enough to understand i guess.capn_ron
- QBN hero of the day!robotron3k
- ^ yup!Krassy
- heroin is everywheresarahfailin
- absolutely capn_ron. My oldest is 6 and i had the drugs discussion. for my 3 year old i told him the lady fell down and hurt her foot.kona
- crazy story.
good for you!maquito - do u second guess the save and think it would have been better pulling a mr white?********
- not really. then we'd have a death on the block which would be difficult to explain. i'm hoping the save will bring her around to a better life.kona
- Had a really good friend of mine turned into a junkie :( she ODed, went to hospital, the whole rehab thing. And it's still hard for her to completely get out.pango
- Now most of her friends are former junkies. O_Opango
- Narcam is some crazy shit.brandonp
- since they opened up the farms in afganiyurimon
- Yuri. You should do something about that far in afghan.pango
- *farmpango
- props to kona!bezoar
- I saw people using when I was in high school & college. Bored suburbanites = idle minds, hard drugs. Ruined a few buddies who could have been something.studderine
- good job!eryx
- I'd second guess it. The realization that I might have created an opportunity for her to run over a kid in the future. I watch to many altered timeline flicks.********
- Not sure if i can make the decision to just let someone die.pango
- Kona all my respect. kids at least seen something real what they can learn from.********
- ya kudos the instincts to bolt over.pango
- Good work, now you can go off somebody and break even on the karma********
- You believe in karma?pango
- yea, do you********
- Thats pretty fucked up even considering for a second to let her die peeps... Wtf?
Nicely handled kona.******** - nope. I help other because of empathy. not because of expectation of reward later on. And there's definitely no clear evidence that all bad people will pay.pango
- unless you believe in reincarnation. but one can argue that eventually something will happen if the rang o time's long enough. but that's a whole another thing.pango
- Dude, none of that happened. It was Jehova's Witnesses on bicycles you meth headProjectile
- Well done Kona. What the hell is an ADT Health Alarm?microkorg
- Pango, you are being far too literal with your interpretation of how karma works********
- You're a good man, konastoplying
- terry_cloth knows how karma works.********
- How else is it supposed to work if not literal interpretation of what most people think it work?pango
- I'm a none belieber anyway. So why don't you"a believer" tell me how it works.pango
- it's a magic fucking marker...a felt tip pen!!!********
- lol. Well this convo escalated quickly! microkorg. We have an ADT alarm system. it has 3 emergency buttons. Fire. Police. Medical. Pressing...kona
- the Medical button auto calls 911 and an ambulance. Within seconds my phone rang which was ADT confirming the emergency. It's a nice featurekona
- Pango there is plenty of literature out thier regarding bhuddism and Hinduism and the concept of karma. I'm not going to go into depth on it in sidenotes********
- Especially not with you********
- phew. thank god.
