hey everyone, it’s deryck here. sorry i’ve been so m.i.a.
lately, but i’ve been very sick in the hospital for a month and was
pretty sick for a few weeks leading up to my trip to the hospital. the
reason i got so sick is from all the hard boozing i’ve been doing over
the years. it finally caught up to me. i was drinking hard every day.
until one night. i was sitting at home, poured myself another drink
around mid night and was about to watch a movie when all of a sudden i
didn’t feel so good. i then collapsed to the ground unconscious. my
fiancé got me rushed to the hospital where they put me into the
intensive care unit. i was stuck with needles and i.v.’s all over. i was
completely sedated the FIRST WEEK. when i finally woke up the next day i
had no idea where i was. my mum and step dad were standing over me. i
was so freaked out. my liver and kidney’s collapsed on me. needless to
say it scared me straight. i finally realized i can’t drink anymore. if i
have one drink the doc’s say i will die. i’m not preaching or anything
but just always drink responsibly. i didn’t, and look where that got me.
(i never thought i would ever say that! haha) anyway i have my passion
and inspiration back for writing music. i already have a few song ideas
for new songs. soon it will be time to start making an album and getting
back to touring again. see you all sometime! there will be more posts
again so say up to date friends.
