HOW DRUGS CAN EFFECT AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE COMPLETELY
|
The choice of leaving the meth on my own without any help or treatment. I started using meth about 10 years ago. I
never tried any kind of drug before that I was a clean-cut person. Moved to a big city where there were drugs of all
kinds. When I first time use I was scared did not know the effects would do to me. When I did it were like a head
rush...Met different and interesting people there. The meth-rush was a good feeling. I would stay up for days up to a
week straight hardly ate or drink was to busy doing other projects. I went from 115lbs down to 89lbs.But when I did
the drug after so many years. I could not believe all the stuff that went down with it. I was so scared. The meth
makes you feel like you have manpower over every-body, have strength, you did not care what happens cause you
have evil power over the world. When you have no more and you are searching that’s even worse cause the one
who there for you through every-thing gets the cursing and the faults, the blame especially the women, the stuff I
seen was a shocker. For instance, under cover cops, Main guys beating up their own people in front of you, lovers
or boyfriends betray or mistreated you. I had no idea what was up till got home. So I told my sister something that
happen that I did not do. She went and told the manager where I was staying got in some trouble. But since that day
I ask myself, how do you trust your siblings? How do you trust people? How do you trust your family? Trust is a big
word, in the world today but not in the eyes of the lord there is so much denial, lies, and mostly important not
enough trust. I hide my drugs use from my family for the whole time. Did not want them to think I was an evil person
or bad person, or think what I have done to myself, I was feeling guilty of being high in front of them, Within a few
months everything caught up with me and I ended up in the hospital clinging for my life, It all happen on October
2nd 2006 went to the E.R at one in the morning was feeling strange the E.R Doctor saw I was not feeling good,
notice I was ready to faint so they put in a room right away, Took my vitals and told me I was dehydrated and had
walking ammonia Then set me up with an I.V. and antibiotics I was there until four in the morning I was dehydrated
. . The next day even got worse, on october3rd at 5p.m I was feeling weird. I did not want to go to the hospital,
anyways I end up going got back to the E.R. right away they took me to a room and then start putting I.V of all sort
to me from heart monitor, I.V. f or dehydrated, breathing tube. They started me on medicine like antibiotics and
other medicine to calm me down, I looked at the nurse and said I did not want to die, They let me know I would not
die it just to calm me down. That’s all I remember before I went out until I woke up 2 weeks later in I.C.U. on
October17th 2006 ,When I woke up in the I.C.U I was really shock could not figure out why I was tied down for .
The nurse explain to me that was for my own protection so I would not pull out the breathing tube .They had me on
my left side for the two weeks without being turn, bathe, and my hair brush. I was upset in the I.C.U when I lost most
of my hair, I ask myself why lord? Why me? Why did you not let me go? I figure he had other plans for me; the lord
works in mystery ways. Then a few days later they pull out the breathing tube and I was able to breathe on my own,
The nurse and doctors decided to put a I.V. through my neck cause of veins rolling, So they stuck it through my
neck and then glue it there, That really hurt, During the 3 weeks of being in the hospital the prick me so much they
had to put through neck, So I had to sleep on my left side for the duration of the treatment. The days following I was
slowing getting my strength back. I had to learn how to do things all over again, I felt stupid; and embarrasses. I had
to learning the basics task. The task was learning how to walk, how to use the function of your hands to cut up food,
both of my hands were so swollen up it was a hard task. I was a frighten and scared because I did not know what
had happen to me. I ask myself two question- Was I going to be all right? Am I going to live through this nightmare
this cannot be happen to me? I had physical therapy come in my room to do treatments on me, I was delusional,
confuse, upset, depressed dreaming and seeing weird. Things that were not there. Did not understand what had
happen to me. Then for 6 more days I push it so I could get better and be myself again, it was really frighten did not
know what going to happen to you. The day before I was release to go to the main floor for a couple of days.
Physical therapy came and got me to train me to walk all over again I was scared because I did not know what
was going to happen, If I was going to be able to walk again? Or fall flat on my face? I had a hard time gripping with
the disaster that happen to me .I had a hard time sleeping at all cause I had so much fear in me I was afraid to go to
sleep for the reason I would not see daylight again, the nurse confirm to me that I was going to make it cause I came
this far along .So at nights they would give me Juices, and Jell-O .ice cream. Then on the last two nights while I was
in the I.C.U. I push it so I could go home, The family called in the pastor to read me my last rights as I was going to
die, That’s when everything hit me what was going on? I keeping asking the Doctor if I could go home early but he
refuse cause of all I went through. The doctor was afraid of letting me go earlier in case I had a relapse of the
pahomua, So on October 23rd 2006. I was finally able to go to the main floor, That was the day I was glad cause I
was getting out of the I,C,U and going to the main floor, I said to myself I am going to make it after all. When I finally
got to a regular room on October23rd 2006 in the afternoon I was a little relieve. The nurse came in got my vitals
and set me up with ice cubes, I could not believe what had happen, I lost 2 weeks of my life because I could not
remember anything, That evening was still rough trying to get enough strength to get up to walk, to even try to sit up
I was still weak. The hardest part was trying to cut up my food, the day finally came on October 25th 2006 they took
me for my finally x-ray everything was o.k. I got released at ten in the am, When I got home I had to be on I.V
through the neck for two weeks on heavy antibiotics, The hospital physical therapy came over to show me how to
use the oxygen machine and Home health came over to show how to do the antibotic medication. I was relieved to
be home but then scared at the same time. That evening I did my medicine and sleep a little, Then after 6 weeks of
the medicine I went to the E.R, they remove my I.V The hardest part was not being able to do the things I once did
before I got really sick. The hardest part was trying to do task. I felt so helpless, I could not do things for myself I
thought is this nightmare going to end. Then everything got to me, I was not able to do the things I wanted to do.
There in my mind was the fear of not making it to the next day, Fear of being so worthless, Fear of what the world
thinks of me. Fear of going to sleep and not waking up. Fear of not seeing my love-ones again, there were fear and
stress of every-one who depended on me, there is fear with me everyday from what had happen and what I went
through. I now get panic attacks, there is also fear of going to sleep and not waking up it is a physical and emotional
stress that I have to live with everyday of my life. The most fear is being taken for granted, did I let them down? But
at the same time I had to think of my health and get the strength back to help out the ones who depended on me. It
took almost 2 to 4 months to get myself back to normal. They call me Heaven bless cause I should of not made it but
I did. Then I went into depression cause of what happen. The question was; how could I go from being healthily to
being sick, it can happen so fast to you in a blink of an eye. The things you are able to do today do not take them
for granted cause they can be stripe away from you in a moment. By the grace of the lord and the power within me I
survive this whole episode, therefore if you believe in the lord he will be there for you. Spirit and wisdom. Always
believe what’s in your heart before you make mistake and have to pay for them later. Think twice before you
