Aman we have known for 30 years, an upstanding citizen, was standing on a side walk, delusional, and unable to tell the first responders anything coherent. He recognized us and gave my husband a hug.
Coming back from a lovely 33rd anniversary dinner this past Friday evening, my husband and I were ready to turn into our neighborhood, when we saw a firetruck, and another city fire vehicle, and several firemen clustered around a man standing on the sidewalk. As we passed the group, we recognized the man they were clustered around. We pulled over and ran to see if we could help. The next 17 hours ended up being as we once turned the phrase, a real trip.
He was dehydrated, confused, did not have his wallet or keys. He couldn’t remember the numbers associated with his apartment. He couldn’t remember the phone number of a friend who had helped him refill his prescriptions, but knew he had a new bottle of medication in his apartment. He admitted he was tired and needed to sleep, we made up a bed for him on the couch.
My husband was the intermediary between people, our son’s friend was the driver to get the info we needed, and I stayed with Bob, and worked on orienting him by talking to him about real events and good times in the past that he remembered, and how because he had become dehydrated and disoriented he had just become confused about recent events. He knew he had some problems.
I just know that my husband and I acted from our sets of moral beliefs. We saw a friend, even though he was not a super-close friend whom we had not seen in a couple years, since the friend who provided our the center of our social hub died in March of 2020.
