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.

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.
