Friday night was just like any other, Olivia and I put on our cutest dresses and headed out for a night on the town. After jumping from one club to the next we ended up at an after hours party, it happened to be the same house party we both attended new years eve. We continued to drink and dance the night away. When the party died down I found myself curled up on a couch with this handsome young man and we crashed.
I was woken up by him stirring around and now the sun was up his i-phone alarm started to go off and we both yawned and stretched. It was a little chilly in the house and I noticed every once in awhile he would shiver a little. We continued to mess around a little then he mentioned we should hit up the hot tub before he left for work and while everyone else was still asleep, I couldn’t agree more at this point.
Naked and cold we stepped in and before anything worth mentioning happened my companion went into a full epileptic seizure in the hot tub. He went under the water immediately and I retched down under his arms and pulled him up. He was flopping everywhere and were both still in this hot tub soaking wet and naked VERY SLIPPERY I couldn’t hold him and he slipped back under water but this time he was not seizing anymore he was still and blue and had blood coming from his face. I reacted as quickly as I could and struggled to get this boy out of the hot tub. I finally was able to push him out of the water and that’s when he started to seizure again but not for very long he was flailing around in a result split his head open in many places. Now I’m out of the water holding this bleeding wet man and he stopped seizing again but now he was purple and blue and his eyes wide open and turning pink and red…..he wasn’t breathing anymore. I screamed for help and kept screaming no one came, I was trying to get the water out of his lungs and kept calling his name out “no you cant be dead you cant do this to me no no no no” screaming and holding his lifeless wet body. Then suddenly he made a gurgling noise and I kept talking to him. Slowly and very slowly he started to come around but had no idea about anything that had happened or who he or I was. I had grabbed a towel that was at arms length and tried to control as much of the bleeding as possible. Finally I was able to get him up and back into the house.
I have to stop telling the story for now as it starts to involve places and people that don’t need mentioning. However I’ll close on this.
This was hands down the most traumatic and awful thing that has ever happened to me and to say that it will leave a lasting impression on me is an understatement, when I close my eyes thru out my day its the picture of this man underwater and blue that I see. I hope that no one ever has to experience this who might be reading today. I’m forever a changed girl now and probably wont be doing allot of swimming this year. Please if you are epileptic let people know around you, this is not something to be embarrassed about and it could help save your life.
The reason this individual had a seizure was because of lake of sleep and he had not taken his meds in two days. After finding all this out I would love nothing more than to slap the shit out of this guy for being so stupid and putting me thru this. However I’m just glad he’s alive and well.
