Read MoreThis week must start with thanks for some very special people who helped me (and thereby helped GreeneStreets) during a storm of issues that led to a breaking point last week when I thought I was close to my last breath.
It was time for a change and I first thank God for sticking with me and guiding me to do what was needed to take a different fork in the road. Thanks to the Doctors Deshpande for their quick attention and actions. Thanks to Dustin Stahl for helping get me out of the house, down off the porch and into my car so I could get to the first appointment. Thanks to my friend and helper Beth Miller for her steadfast support and driving to the first appt.
On the way home from the first appt, I ran out of oxygen just a few blocks from home in Worthington. I thought I’d be ok - so close to home. Wrong. Oxygen level dropping, heart rate rising, anxiety sets in. Called Dustin then decided to call 911 while I was still talking. Thanks to the dispatcher at the Greene County Sheriff’s Department who took my frantic call. Help arrived in record time. Really fast.
Thank you Worthington First Responders Dustin Stahl, Kyle Steward and Mike Steward. Thank you Worthington Police Chief Jacob Gambill. Thank you Greene County Ambulance Service for the crew that arrived. I don’t remember seeing any faces but I remember the voices and recognized most. Thanks to Mike who got into the car with me and thanks to the EMT who perched by my side and kept talking to me while he kept his fingers on my wrist checking my pulse. And thanks to whoever got an oxygen tank set up and flowing fast. Once stabilized, they all got me back into my house and set up again.
Then the next day, thanks to my son Kermit Rochelle for getting me to the second appt with the pulmonologist and to Kyle again for helping get me down off the porch and to former detective and police chief and current WRV School Resource Officer Jim O’Malley for helping get me back up on the porch and into the house - it was after school hours.
I am one lucky lady, we all are, to live where these special people serve our community.
It’s clear to me I’m not done here yet. I’m much better today than the last few weeks, start physical therapy this week and though I may not post up as fast as some would like, I’m still going at it with a lot of catch-up to do. Thanks to my friend and our star freelancer Halea Franklin for everything you do. Thanks to all the readers who sent prayers and messages - your support means the world to me.
