he had to sleep with a machine that was noisier than his snoring. during a surgery to undo the blockage of his arteries he ended up getting a tripple bypass. after a few months of rehab he was like new again. he was in his early 30's, never smoked cigs, only smokes the ganja with me, maybe once or twice a month. not overweight, but he drank and rode hard with a pretty stressed out job. after the scare he started eating better and gave up the booze. he still has the same fucked up job and still rides hard but he doesn't live it 24/7 anymore.
