The worst feeling in the world is helplessness. I feel totally and completely helpless right now.
I heard last night that my friend Milmoe collapsed while playing flag football, got back up again, and then collapsed again and started making strange noises. He was taken to the hospital and put in the ICU. No one knows anything more. They don't disclose information to anyone who isn't family. His family is in Dedham, MA. We don't know anything.
Helpless.
All I can do is worry. Drive myself crazy thinking about what could possibly be wrong with him. He was perfectly healthy. He doesn't smoke. He has always been athletic. He has no history of any serious health problems. People don't just collapse for no reason. They don't get sent to the ICU for no reason. If eveything was ok he would be back by now.
So helpless.
I feel like a bad friend. My first instinct last night was to start crying... my second instinct was to smoke myself stupid. I chose option B. How could I do something like that when my friend is in trouble. Just run away and hide.
I am so worried that this is going to turn out to be something horrific.
Please please please be OK Milmoe. Please please please please.
