so my father (65) nearly died tonight...
he had a massive sugar low, measuring 1.9, and wouldn't wake up...
so i called 911 and told them to send a paramedic, came within 2 minutes (quite impressed by that)...
i gave him a glucose shot just before they came in my driveway, and we was turning pale white...
the paramedics got him to wake up, took his blood pressure (also, very low), gave him some other shots and threw him on a stretcher and took him in an ambulance...they said he didn't know the day of the week, the time of day, but he did know it was August 2008...
he's now on his way to the hospital to get checked out...
they said i did the right thing to give him the shot, it was probably what got him to wake the fuck up...
they said he'd be just fine and should be home tomorrow. god i can't stop shaking...
