On my
way to work this morning an ambulance from a nearby county went by with its
siren on and lights flashing. My first thought was that it might be my
daughter.
It’s one
of the stressors of having an addicted child, and it’s not unwarranted. Addicts
are at risk for contracting skin infections, HIV, hepatitis C, or endocarditis
(infection of the heart valves). Many are overdosing at the rate of more than
130 people each day in the US.
Is my
daughter alive? I don’t know. I’m not sure if the authorities would know to
call me if she died, but I guess they have their ways.
