Think it was the Monday I asked him if he could take me to UWI because I feel dehydrated and all I need was an IV to help,” Riley wrote online.

“Sigh. People this is where it got real. All I remembered was calling someone to tell my daughter I’m there as well as businesses that I had bookings for ….Thats it,” He continued.
