The night that changes everything

This is one of those times when looking back you see God's hand. How the right people were in the right place at the right time. I knew my God was the God of right now but it is never been as real to me or as important to me as it has been this past year.

Around 6:30 PM on January 14 Greg and I went to the emergency room. Greg Drove up to the patient drop off circle to drop me off so I can start the paper work while he parks. I put one foot on the ground firmly plant my cane then as I put my other foot down and try to stand up I fall to the ground. I scream as I fall a gentleman sees and hears my scream comes running grabs my hand and says I am here now everything will be okay. Greg puts the car in park and arrives a second later. The man looks at Greg and tells him to take care of what he needs to take care of.


Greg runs inside the man tells me to squeeze his hand if I need to. I squeezed the heck out his hand. He never loses eye contact with me. Every time I start to feel panicky the man has me focus on him and tells me everything is going to be okay. I pass out and when I come to there is a women with a wheel chair, I look at her and then try to find Greg I don’t see him. The man holding my hand tells me to squeeze his hand. I pass out again when I wake I see the lady with the wheelchair is talking to someone. Greg is beside me and I hear people talking. I go into and out of consciousness every time I open my eyes I see this man and he tells everything is going to fine. The next time I open my eyes I hear someone say we are not using the wheelchair but a back board. As they are placing me on the back board I ask the man if he works for the hospital, he says no I was just leaving from visiting a friend when I heard you scream. They lift me in the air and put me on the stretcher, after I am on the stretcher I feel safe so I close my eyes.

The only other thing I remember from that night is I called my mother in law 1 o’clock in the morning and said this is serious you need to come, she was on the road by 1:30.
