Bit of a scary situation happened with a little girl this weekend. Also, drunk people suck
On the bright side? No-Fap Day 7
Saving a Girl from Choking
So It's the Queen's Platinum Jubilee here in my country this weekend
To my American friends, Basically, The Queen has been on the throne for 75 years
This pretty much meant lots of street parties, everybody proudly and patriotically buying and waving flags (made in China, of course
) and celebrating properly and patriotically like good citizens of the crown by getting drunk and throwing up everywhere with the excuse of βItβs the Queen we gotta celebrate it!!!β
As you can probably tell, I'm not much of a Royalist. The recent situation with sex offender 'Prince' Andrew has only solidified my position on that, but I digress.
I ended up having to attend a neighbour's street party down the road yesterday as everyone else in my family was at work and I was the only one around
So for the sake of 'keeping up appearances' as is prominent in British culture, I went along albeit unwillingly.
About 20 minutes in of being bored out of my skull
, I noticed a 9 year-old little girl who was holding a half eaten burger bun in one hand and holding her throat in the other. She was making coughing and spluttering noises. Almost as if she was gasping for breath.
I was an advanced first aider when I was a cop so I quickly realised 'Oh Fuck, this kid's choking!β
Dropped my can of Sprite
and ran over to her. I said 'Are you choking!?' And saw this look of blind panic in her eyes. I grabbed her by the shoulders and I said 'turn around! Lean forward!'. I kinda spun her around by her shoulders at the same time so she had her back to me and I pushed her forward so she was leaning over and gave her 5 hard back slaps right between the shoulder blades.
This made her cough which I took as a sign whatever was in her throat was slowly getting dislodged. I then made a fist with my hands and put them just above her stomach and did the Heimlich Manoeuvre, pulling my fist inwards and upwards in one quick, firm movement.
By this time, the parents were running over and a couple of people were coming to see what was going on
After one thrust of the Heimlich, she spat out the piece of bread bun that was lodged in her throat onto the pavement and started to take large, panicked breaths.
She then burst into tears.
I sat her down with her parents and gave her some of my drink and told her to breathe deep breaths. Parents were very grateful and I recommended calling an ambulance etc. and keeping an eye on her as I could see that she was in shock and going cold.
I slipped away pretty much straight after this and went home. I'm not a big fan of attention and another reason was because I started to have a panic attack shortly after. Managed to calm myself down after 10 minutes, so it wasn't a major one. Just don't do well with this kinda thing no more.
Stressful situation, but wanted to get it onto my log so I can get it off my mind.
Drunk People Suck
There are bad morning's, then there are legendary bad mornings. This morning was shaping up to be one of those mornings...
So I've spent this morning cleaning up after another Jubilee party my folks threw last night
This included cleaning up my brother's sick (he's literally thrown up everywhere in his room and all over himself) as well as the cat's sick as she also threw up
Had the party yesterday and everybody was drunk and acting stupid. Me who doesn't drink cleaned up after the party and then I had to clean up again this morning. Everybody was acting stupid and dancing. I was questioned about my choices not to drink, accused of being 'boring' and having 'something wrong with me' for not joining in and dancing round like an idiot at 11 P.M at night.
Finished the cleaning and went to bed without saying goodnight
I got up early this morning to discover sick everywhere in my brother's room stinking the whole house out, so that was a job for me. Bedding I washed, clothes covered in puke and the carpet I had to scrub to stop it staining as well as to limit the smell in the house. I have OCD with cleanliness and like a tidy house, so it had to be done as well as the fact that no-one else was in any fit state
Cleaned the kitchen, swept up broken glass from a wine bottle and now I'm sat typing this up as a draft in my suit as we've got a christening to go to in a couple hours. We're arriving late as everybody is still hanging, so why did I even bother getting changed?
Nothing against folk who drink. My beef is with people who can't respect my choices not to drink and treat me like an outcast because of it
I'm also pretty beat as my brother kept me up throwing his bollocks up last night
So yeah, not a great day today.
No-Fap Day 7
My first full week has been achieved on this, so taking it as a massive positive
Myself and Olafsmash have a bit of healthy competition going on at the moment which is pretty motivating and encouraging! I am grateful to him for this and will keep in touch with him every now and again to see how he is getting on
My mind reset photo attached as proof
Porn and Masturbation has had a hold on me for far too long. Glad to see I'm finally conquering it. Also watched a couple of KillYourInnerLoser's videos on his struggles and progress with porn which have really helped motivate me along, so thank you for this Andy
Thanks for reading
