Once Jr. passed his CPR test, I asked him if he could perform it on an ugly woman with a mustache and false teeth.
He, rather maturely I might add, said "Sure, I'll have a mask, and I'd have to check to make sure there were no foreign objects in her mouth."
I was right proud.
My friend Lisa, along with her dad and two other guys, saved an old man once who capsized his boat right near the dock. She did mouth to mouth on him. At the time she did what she needed to do, and I admired her for that, one never knows what they're capable of until it happens! But afterwards, she said "It'll be a long time before I eat eggs". That was all the information I needed :~\
Good to know. One of my favorite teachers in high school (there were dang few) hit her head on the bottom of the local swimming pool and the guy (a guy I knew from high school) that was the life guard wouldn't do CPR on her. She was alive when they pulled her out but died soon after.
I babysat their little toddler daughter while her husband took care of her funeral arrangements. I guess I was 15. I remember he tried to pay me and it was one of those moments in your young life when you just know that wasn't right.
I often wonder about the lifeguard...he was my age and he's had to live with that all his life.
