Woman Revives Girlfriend's Homophobic Grandma With CPR After She Chokes During Holiday Dinner

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.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
