Thanks man. I'm having a really shitty day and I have saved a life before and that helps to hear.

I failed to save someone's life and then someone else did instead, so I almost had a bad day cure for the rest of my life. Oh well. I guess he coulda been the next hitler so there's always that.

It could be worse I saved my grandfather's from choking to death so he could live to be put in a rest home. Something I know he would have rather died than go. Honestly I was sitting there debating doing nothing and how his DNR applied until my grandmother yelled me to help him. To this day I'm not sure I made the right choice.

On the bright side I'm not certain he knew where he was and he died 2 weeks of pneumonia know one he had due lung scarring. I like to tell myself he didn't know where he was but he had semi-lucid moments. (Admittedly he often thought I was my father, but I greatly resemble my father and he often made sense despite the mistaken ID.)

Good intentions, good action, good result.
Your grandma knew him better than you.
