Karma came back hard for a homophobic grandmother while seated at holiday dinner when a gay guest saved her life.

Lizzy Bristow—TikToker @bodybydaddy/LGBTQ FITNESS—told the tale on TikTok.


Dana, the 91-year-old grandmother Bristow saved, struggled to swallow some steak during the meal.

Seeing Dana was choking when she began to turn blue, Bristow acted quickly.

The longest 5 minutes of my life #christmas2021 #grandma #cpr


Bristow tried dislodging the food with the Heimlich maneuver, but her partner's grandmother passed out.

That's when Bristow began CPR.

“An hour before this, this woman had just asked me if I was the boy,” Bristow said.

“Now I’m over here, giving her compressions, probably breaking her ribs.”

Eventually, the steak was dislodged, and the grandma came to.

Bristow said it took nearly 2 minutes of work, followed by the "longest 5 minutes" of her life afterward.

“I felt like I won the Superbowl,” Bristow said, of the elderly woman coming back to life.

But:

“I never want to do that again. Everyone get CPR certified.”

In a follow-up video, Bristow revealed her CPR attempt was unsuccessful at sparing grandma's ribs, but she is in the hospital for treatment.

"Apparently I broke every single one of her ribs," Bristow noted.

But one follower commented:

"You saved Grandma and Christmas. What's a few broken ribs between friends?"

Grandma Dana is on the road to a full recovery.

She was unaware Bristow was her savior until she was told at the hospital.

Whether it changed her opinion of her granddaughter's partner remains to be seen.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.
