cellboy1. One of our residents, who has Type 2 diabetes, fainted in the common hallway outside of his apt door this morning.
2. One of the neighboring tenants came down to the office to tell me. We went up stairs, and helped him back into his apt, and called 911.
3. Poor guy. His glucose levels were a mess.
4. The SSFFD arrived with in minutes (they are just a block away). All 4 men knew him by name (they were at his place recently). And since he grew up in this town and lived with his diabetic mother for 60 yrs, all know him very well, and his past address also (they test his memory after injection of insulin).
5. His apt is a mess and smells awful. And his hygiene awful. After helping him in, I had to go home and, change my smelly clothes, shower, put new clothes on, then put the smelly clothes (newly laundered this morning) back to be washed again. His bad order is not from ketoacidosis (that usually is a sweet smell). It's from bad hygiene. Yuk! After showering and washing my hands several times, that awful smell is still there a little (probably some in my sinuses).
6. He lives alone with his dog. He really needs a Life Alert button around his neck, or at least someone taking care of him (he is stubborn)
7. But here is good news to distract me from all of this. All of the fire men, that arrived were nice looking (sometimes one in the crowd isn't). OK not nice but hot! One 6'6" solid bear, with furry solid forearms asked my name. Swoon......I was ready to faint too! LOL
8. Then minutes later the Paramedics showed up. All 4 of them were hot too! Swoon again!
9. Now if any of them posted something about our meeting on Craig's List, missed connections, I would really faint!(Don't fret. I'll be checking that site for a few days ;)
I think the first 2 on the the right and the end one on the left were here. Hard to tell :(
