Oh, my aching tummy! Ate too much!

Belch, belch, - excuse me - I ATE TOO MUCH! We went to the buffet as planned and although it was early, they were already jammed. I ate myself silly. When we got home, I did the wrong thing- went to bed and fell asleep. The wrong thing to do.Had a Pepsi, probably should have had a gingerale with a squirt of lemon (works wonders) and am ready for another Pepsi now. Everyone is sleeping- the cats. the dog, even my sister. I

ve got about 1-1/2 hours before Jay Leno and sleep.

 

Had some sad excitement at the buffet. I looked up and thought the men standing in gray golf shirts who seemed to have gunholders over a shoulder were policemen but then they turned and I saw the rubber gloves and EVAC on the back of their shirts. There were 4 of them. A very large woman apparently had an attack of some type. I feel it was a heart attack or perhaps a stroke. She was quite elderly and didn't look in very good conditioned. After they managed to get her on a stretcher (using a back board, it looked), they wheeled her out and they spent quite a while in the abulance stabilizing her, I guess. They did not start an IV or give her oxygen in the restaurant, perhaps because some diners had to move so they could work - or maybe it didn't matter. She looked quite pale. Don't know if she was with someone or alone. Was surprised there were four EMT's rather than 2 - one to be with her and the second who then does the driving. Of course my last ride was a transfer, so maybe that makes a difference. When the hospital finally called and after they came, the transfer was smooth. One with me (handsome - I wasn't too sick to notice that) and wearing a white shirt - not the tee shirt with collar golf shirt type shirt - and the driver - a big dude. They had made the arrangement and when we arrived at the big hospital there was no stopping at ER just straight to a private room since they were anticipating surgery I suppose. Later they took another cat scan and found the bleed hadn't started again (which was why I was sent there). Mother Nature or fate was good to me. I was really blessed.

 

I've been thinking about her and hope she is ok. What an even worse experience it must have been for her with so many gauking people,.....

Phyllis, sometimes we are blessed to be one of the witnesses and not the main participant in a drama. I just keep praying that the person will have good care and be restored to good health.

Glad you enjoyed your dinner, even though you ate too much.

We'll never know about the woman.......unless we can add 2 + 2. I do hope she made out ok and got the help she needs with whatever problems she has.
