I Got a Second Chance at Life

This is me.

I'm 20 years old, your typical adolescent. I like to drink and have fun. I didn't realize how bad it was though.

Last Friday I had 4 really bad seizures.

I had these from alcohol withdrawal when I decided I'm done drinking. Right here, I'm tubed and they put me into a coma. I had a main line in my neck and a feeding tube and all the _____.

Still tubed.

Brain scan monitors and all to make sure I'm not getting any brain damage.

They pulled me out of the coma and got the tube out.

At this point I was still unresponsive to anyone and very disoriented. I still have no recollection of this.

Two days ago, still in ICU all monitors are off though.

I started responding but I still have no idea what I'm saying or where I'm at. They said I had 4 seizures and died for a minute in transit from the hospital in Grass Valley to Sacramento.

 

 

 

This was yesterday, finally started to recover.

I finally understood what happened and knew who was around me. I couldn't believe how or why it happened. All I know is God gave me a second chance at life because I SHOULDN'T be here right now.

 

 

 

Hospital SELFIE ALERT.

I finally recovered from the withdrawals and what not. Got all the tubes and monitors out and lived. I want to thank all my friends and family for coming out to visit me and being there for me. And of course God for giving me this second chance.

 

 

 

This morning, all recovered.

I don't plan on drinking again, and they say if I do I'll die, so in reality _____ THAT. But this time I'm making the most out of life. I don't deserve this chance but apparently I'm here on this earth for a purpose. Sorry to bore you with my boo hoo story but I had to share. I love you guys and hopefully I can actually stay sober. Day one of sobriety here we come .........
