Jersey Weekend
My first real post!!!
So Saturday, Christie, Zoei, and I went to visit my Italian family in New Jersey with my dad to celebrate my cousin's 21st b-day...but the adventure started at 3am in the morning.
I went to bed around midnight on Friday night to prepare for our early departure to jersey on Saturday. Christie ended up staying up to finish some last minute homework before the trip...thank "god" she did. From what I am told...at around 3am, she came to bed and I wasn't responding. My eyes would open but then would close again...and I wasn't talking or moving. I was also completely covered in sweat. Christie called 9-1-1.
I am an insulin dependent diabetic...and was extremely low in blood sugar.
When I was younger and went low in blood sugar, I would just start shaking. As I got older, the symptoms changed, including hallucinations and confusion. All I remember is walking room to room, and not knowing why. Apparently I got up at some point after not responding. Next thing I know, I am sitting on the couch, surrounded by EMTs...getting liquid glucose squeezed into my throat. My blood sugar was still 40 after the treatment from the EMT, so I can't imagine what my blood sugar started at. They got me up to where I needed to be and rolled out (Thank you guys and girl!!!). Christie later filled me in on the fact that I pissed on the carpet in the dining room and pissed my pants...I'm sure she will post more details of the incident (it's fucking gross, I know, but I wasn't myself at the time...so I get a pass). Thank satan Christie was there, or it may have been even more serious. I loves you babe!
Okay, so my car is having some issues and my dad drives a 2 seater, so we had to take Christie's Scion to Jersey, with my dad driving. The drive up there was pretty good...hit a little traffic. We arrived to jersey at around 4pm. My aunt, cousins, and friends were already at the house. We were going to Bar-B-Q until the evening, then we were going to hit the bars. I started drinking and eating while Christie took multiple lemon drops with my family. Zoei was playing in the yard with the 4 (later 5) other dogs that were there. We were all waiting for my cousins Nick and Irene to arrive from Delaware...which they did, at 10pm!
We packed in to 3 SUVs and rolled to the bar, 20 deep! The first bar was pretty cool, we drank beers and did shots with the family. We hung there for about an hour, then went to a local bar by my aunts house. We managed to leave the bar with a couple of NFL glasses and a poster for a cover band called "FREAK" which covers NIN, Tool, and Korn (I thought it was 2009???). We then went to the next bar and continued the festivities. While at the bar we witnessed 3 bar fights...which was pretty cool, because the bar was very tiny, so they were all front row seats! There are a lot of nice people in Jersey, but there are also a shit ton of meat heats...with worse tats than me! So all 20 of us walked home from the bar at 3:00am to..........have a Bar-B-Q. We fired up the grill at 3:30am and continued on. We finally got to bed at 5am, got our 4 hours of sleep, then got up. We did a head count to make sure everyone was accounted for, then headed to my other aunt's house to visit my grandma. It was a quick visit with my grandma because we had Zoei with us and needed to exit the garden state.
Christie and I got home around 6pm on Sunday, cleaned up a bit, then did our normal Sunday night routine (watching Fantasy Factory and Nitro Circus with minimal thinking!)
Christie fits in extremely well with my family, which is good, because it's only a matter of time before she becomes a part of it. Had a blast this weekend!
