I'm really shaken up

[Jalapeñomel]

OMG. Thank god you were there.

[walterismydog]

Fantastic job! I'm proud of you. That's a scary thing to have to do.

[sugarbear]

Good job. I don't blame you for being shaken up, and I know he must be grateful for you.

You are a super hero! You saved a man's life then went RIGHT back to baking a pie. That's some hardcore gangsta shit right there. I mean really.

[Eagles]

God bless you, Vicky. Seriously. You acted quickly and you thought to get his name. Do you know how many people probably pretend he doesn't exist every day? ❤

[vicky]

Lol. Fitbit thinks I went up 125 flights of stairs today. No. Just chest compressions.

[cbwm1]

You did an amazing thing, and it's normal to feel shaken up. You saved that man's life.

[miniroller]

Woah!! Well done, Vicky!
I'm pleased to hear this happened when he was in the realm of great help. Your further planned actions of helpfulness make my heart happy. Well done.

[franklin]

Don't feel awful, you did a great job.

[elleblue]

Brilliant and quick thinking vicky ! And yes it'll probably take a while for the adrenaline to work it's way through your body. *hugs*

[Deleted]

You are awesome! Definitely a reason to feel shaken though!

[BaliHai]

Hugs Vicky. Hopefully when you calm down you'll realize what an incredible thing you did. (heart)

[liverandonions]

You're amazing. And you have a kind heart.

[berbles]

You are amazing. Most people (probably including me, and I am CPR trained) would freeze in that scanario.

XFI/EMT was just recently talking about how he remembers pretty much every person who he's every "brought back to life," so to speak. Even to trained professionals, this is a big deal.

Guys.
Thanks. I don't feel awesome. I feel awful. I didn't ask what hospital he was going to, j didn't ask if he'd be okay. I just looked at my boss and was like "I don't want to be an audience." And went back in the kitchen.

you are incredible. The success rate for out-of-hospital CPR is less than 2%. Well done.

[wambam]

You're a hero Vicky!

None of those things matter. You did the thing that matters - early intervention with CPR so the paramedics have a chance. 

You don't feel awesome because being there when someone almost dies is very hard. But you snapped into action and made the difference between life and death.

You are amazing.

[Saint Monica]

Hell yeah vicky!

[winecat]

You are amazing!

[womet]

You are awesome! You saved a life today.

[jezebel]

That's great! It's a very scary situation, but it sounds like you kept your cool.

[googled]

Great job!

[tripleshot]

You are awesome!

[Deleted]

I got the chills just reading this! You kept calm and did everything you needed too. You are AWESOME!!

[Captain Serious]

That is amazing. Thank you for acting so quickly.

[flex]

vicky to the rescue! Being awesome does shake a person up. God bless you!

[karmasabiotch]

You saved his life. What you experienced was very traumatic, of course you're shaken. Many hugs to you.

Smoking a big fatty certainly couldn't hurt, and I think everybody agrees that you've earned it!

You are amazing and you did more than most would. And most importantly you did the most important thing to help save his life.

You saved someone's life!!  It's an overwhelming feeling and an adrenaline rush.  (especially when it's not part of your normal everyday life!!)  He was so lucky that you were there.  Without your help, he would not have been ok at all.  You're awesome.
