THIS STORY FORTUNATELY ISN'T ABOUT ME IT'S ABOUT MY FRIEND BOBBY. BOBBY IS 44 HAS FOUR CHILDREN, A VERY HANDSOME MAN. BOBBY WAS MARRIED LIVING IN N.C. TO HIS SCHOOL TEACHER WIFE AND SON. HE OWNED THREE HOUSES SOME LAKE-FRONT PROPERTY, HE WAS DOING WELL. BOBBY AND HIS WIFE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS HE NEEDED TO GET AWAY AND CALLED ME UP TO ASK MY HUSBAND AND I IF HE CAN STAY FOR A MONTH OR TWO PICK UP A CARPENTRY JOB, AND JUST CHILL AND DECIDE WHAT HE WANTED TO DO WITH HIS LIFE. NEW JERSEY WAS A FAST LANE COMPARED TO NC AND UNFORTUNATELY HE MET A GIRL WHO LIVED IN A FAST LANE. HE MOVED INTO HER CRACK HOTEL AND IN ONE MONTH WAS CAUGHT UP IN DRUGS.THE COPS FOUND BOBBY STAGGERING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LAST THURSDAY HIS HEAD COVERED WITH BLOOD. THEY ASKED HIM HIS NAME AND ADDRESS IN WHICH HE TOLD THEM AND SUDDENLY AS THEY WRAPPED HIS HEAD HE PASSED OUT AND LAPSED INTO A COMA. THEY HAD TO DO BRAIN SURGERY, INSERT LIFE SUPPORT AND INSERT A SHUNT TO REMOVE THE PRESSURE IN HIS BRAIN HE HAD 2 LARGE BLOOD CLOTS AND TWO SMALL ONES IN WHICH THEY COULDN'T REMOVE. HE EMERGED FROM HIS COMA 6 DAYS. THE DAY HE CAME OUT OF HIS COMA , I THOUGHT I WOULD DIE. HIS EYES WERE ROLLING IN CIRCLES ONE CLOCK WAY ONE COUNTER CLOCK WISE. I THOUGHT IN MY HEAD, HE WAS BETTER OFF DEAD THAN LIVING LIKE THAT. BUT BEHOLD, THE NEXT DAY HE WAS SAYING WORDS, THE FOLLOWING DAY SENTENCES. BOBBY IS ONLY ON DAY THIRTEEN, IN THE CONFUSED AGITATED STAGE WHICH IS ROUGH, BUT HE WILL SURVIVE. SOME THOUGHTLESS CRIMINAL SMACKED IN THE HEAD AND LEFT HIM FOR DEAD. I WISH THE PERSON WHO DID THIS WOULD HAVE TO SPEND THE DAYS AND NIGHTS HELPING BOB, HOLDING HIS STRAW TO DRINK AND WIPING HIS ASS WHEN HE SHIT HIS DIAPER. I WONDER IF HE WOULD BE PROUD OF HIMSELF SEEING WHAT HE DID TO THIS MAN.
