Hello there,

i don't know how to begin with the story.
so this is the short version.

after i had an blackout, ive tryed to commit suicide with anti-freeze fluid.
after an trip of almost 700 miles and 36 hours later my blood had almost no liquid anymore. so my heart almost stoot still.
Lucky for me i can tell it now, and did not end into the coven.

the jeep otherwise had not that much luck.
the both sides destroyed, the frontend also had heavy damage.
the radiator had no cooling fluid anymore and most of the car's likes brakelines and other things that should keep me on the road are destroyed.
dont ask with what or how. i dont know.

anyway. the engine did still run and brought me to the first and best house where help did come.

for so far i'm glad to be allive, feeling bad for my jeep XJ.

there's in the future nearby an other jeep cherokee XJ. for now only an cheap european car is coming in my financial picture.

an old cheap Mercedes C class ( europe) is coming. but leave the house after i can afford a ''new'' jeep XJ.

Bas

Its the Icelandic dude and sounds like he made it thru a tough time and the XJ helped him stay alive.

Bas, hang in there Brother. Prayers and best wishes for you.

P.S. My Great-grandparents came from Iceland.

thnx all, but nope not feeling better for now.
my kidneys have heavy damage caused by the anti-freeze.
had an blood dialyze and an drain in my neck.
also lot of needles in my neck for medicine and more.

these are the pictures of my hospital time in switserland (EU)

for now the danger is gone that my damaged kidneys not filtering the toxic's out of my blood. so no blood dialyze for now.

WARNING... not for people with fear for hospitals.

the drain from my neck. the lighter shows the size of the length of the drain.
the drain's end placed nearby my heart,


these are the infuse needles for water and medicine.
each arm had 2 of them, so total of 4


these were the systems that kept me allive.



so far i'm glad to still live my life. when i whas found after i searched for help still able to speak.

also miss my jeep a lot. thanks XJ for help me to find help to survive.
also glad that my engine still worked even without colling liquid and overheating.

last picture made of the life-saver. before this incident

I feel bad for you..... hope everything works out for you..... You seemed like a decent guy (from what I gathered) through our brief conversations and where you committed on others threads.....
You are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need someone to talk to,shoot me a pm...
