I was on the verge of organ failure when I arrived in the ER. I was in ICU for almost 2 weeks. I had damaged my heart, pancreas, liver, and kidneys. I still have to take meds for all of that and because of it, I have to get physicals every 3 months to make sure I'm still ok. It took my liver almost 2 years to return to normal numbers.
Damn... That is a lot of booze. Recovery from that level is a miracle. Glad you somehow pulled out of it. I had a few friends like you. No surprise given the crowd I ran with when I was younger. They died.
One of them almost took me with them when he rolled the car we were in on 495. We did a full 360 roll. Amazing he was the only one who did not make it.
