Scariest drug moment for me? Man, I'll never forget it. A year or two ago my boyfriend and I were on one of our binges slammin' meth. We'd been on a good one for weeks until we finally decided to stop. We told each other we were done and it was time to clean up. We went to the store to get our munchies for the next few days that we would be down. Well, who do I see at the store? My dealer.. Next thing I know we were getting our "last bag"
We went home to do it and when we were mixing the shit up my boyfriend mentioned it wasn't breaking down right. But us idiots still did it.. We were ok then, but after awhile we decided to do another shot. Again, it just wasn't breaking down correctly. And both of us felt weird after the first one, but we still did it and a bigger one. I did mine first and guess what? I missed the whole shot! First and last time I'd EVER done that. I couldn't believe it! I almost cried, cause what a wasted of shit. Haha.. Anyway, I told my boyfriend to do his and I'd do another one after him. Ugh, I'll never forget this part. He told me he didn't feel right and wanted to wait. The sweet girlfriend I am- I said, "you pussy, come on!" that sentence still haunts me.. About 2 minutes after he did his shot... He went stiff and told me (very fast) that he loved me. I looked at him like what the fuck? And he pulled his shirt up and underneath his heart was a pocket of fluid. He weirdly regained some sense and told me to get him up (and at this point he's panicking) and to get him in a COLD bath. We slowly got to the bathroom and when he looked at me it looked like his skin on his face was drooping! And then to his legs.. He about threw himself in the cold water and started splashing the cold water in his face. Then, he kinda started going in and out. He hates the police more then anything, so I asked him if he wanted me to call his dad, because something was terribly wrong. He looked at me and said, "You need to call 911 now! And tell them everything." That's when I lost it. I called 911 and tried to (I was a crying f'ed up mess) tell them what was going on. And when I looked over at the tub, his lips looked stiff and he was about to go out.. I got in behind him and tried hold him up so he wouldn't drowned. After I gave the dispatcher his information she said she put it out to the police. WTF!? Well, my boyfriend has a terrible reputation with the police and I know when his name came over the radio- They had a field day. The police who showed up, were two who put him in prison YEARS before for drug trafficking and selling illegal guns. (sounds like a shitty guy, I know!! But I've known him since I was a kid and it was way out of character for him and he was young.)A few seconds later my boyfriend kinda comes out of it and stats splashing himself with ice cold water to shock himself and keep himself awake. He told me to get him out of the tub and in the front lawn. He looked at me and said, "do NOT let the police in!" I don't know how, but between him and I we got him outside. The police showed up, said his name and, "having a bad trip?" kinda with a chuckle. My boyfriend makes out the sentence, "I've been doing this for 10 years and I've never had this happen. Something isn't right!" During all this I'm putting ice cubes on his back and they are melting within seconds. He was on fire! The cops looked at each other and ones gets on his radio and says they needed an ambulance immediately. They now saw what was going on. My boyfriend was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance while I was left to deal with the police. They asked if I was using and I said no trying to cover up my huge miss! Then they quickly asked if I was the chiefs cousin.. Yup, their boss. They let me leave to follow the ambulance. And they never asked to go into my home. As I'm driving I start feeling numb and really hot.. I figured I was getting a panic attack, or was just really scared. Then as the drive went on, I started to feel my hands and feet cramp. I cranked the AC and tried to calm down. I called our dealer and told them what happened (they were our friends, too) and to get rid of everything.. JUST in case. You just never know! And then... My face and lips went numb and I could barely talk. I told my dude what was going on and he told me, "don't worry about us, get to a hospital and tell them what happened. You're having a stoke." At that second I turned a sharp right and went to my hospital. They didn't even bother putting me in a room before they started shooting me up with shit, checking my eyes, and pulse. I heard one doctor say he couldn't get my heart rate down. It was kind of just a blur from then on out. My parents stayed between both hospitals between my boyfriend and I. That's when I got to tell me parents (who don't even know what meth is!) that I'd been shooting up. Lots of tears that day.
So, come to find out there was animal tranquilizer in the shit and it attacks your nervous system. Once the big second shot got my boyfriend, his body started shutting down, raising his temperature, and filing fluid around his heart. The doctor told my family that the cold bath had a huge role in saving his life. It kept him (for the most part) alert, but the biggest thing it kept his temperature down. I think in the back of my boyfriends head he remembered what had just happen a month previously. His friend shot up bad shit and it immediately fried his brain from
getting too hot. To this day (about two years?) that friend is still on a certain type of life support and in a special home.. At the young age of 27 he will be like that forever.
The Doc also said my boyfriend was the 5th case he'd seen in 4 months of this and he was the only one to make it, so far.. There is more to come with this nasty shit! Then not even 48 hours my boyfriend was hauled to jail. I talked to him in jail all day for two days and then all of a sudden- nothing. Then I got a call saying he had been transferred to the hospital and that he had suffered a heart attack in jail. I found out it wasn't a serious heart attack, but that his heart was enlarged. Doc saw my boyfriend again for the heart problem and said, "I don't know if you're a religious man, but you need to become one. The two that made it from the first series of skin sagging and temperature rising- never made it past the heart attack.
Talk about a scary deal, huh? I think about it often and wonder what would have happened of I lost him? Or, if I wouldn't have missed that shot? Who
Would have saved both of us? I would have never been strong enough to fight the fight my boyfriend did.. He's one tough stubborn mother f*****! He told me once, "I fought for all I had that day. I wasn't going to die in front of you. I wasn't leaving you with that last memory of me." Gives me chills.. He quickly got over his thanking me for saving his life and returned to his smart ass self. Thank goodness

I couldn't handle all that sappiness! And he stayed clean for a long time! That's another story..

As for me? Well, I stayed in the hospital for two days with the only complications of not being able to get my heart rate down and an arm that was numb for SO long! I was SO devastated for missing that shot as I had never missed before, but now? Thank you, Jesus.
Although.. I just recently found out I have something going on with my heart now. And I had to relive this day with my doctor as he thinks it may be playing a part. But we're crossing our fingers that it's nothing too serious.
Oh! And the cop who made the call for the ambulance? He went to the hospital to personally apologies to my boyfriend for not handling the situation correctly and he hopes he makes a fast recovery.. He kept tabs on him for quite some time after that. GOOD tabs..
Well, that's my scary drug moment. And please, if you notice something different with YOUR drug of choice- don't do it.
