I must have posted this story while having my morning coffee because two years ago today I ended up having a seizure and a heart attack while walking my dog, Blue, collapsing on the lawn on the corner of our small street. It was one month after I had brain surgery for metastatic lung cancer. Fortunately someone spotted my dog all alone and then several neighbors, including a doctor and an EMT, came to my assistance. I remember realizing something was wrong and turning around to go back to my home and the next thing i remember is trying to sit up with my husband holding me and the Spring Lake First Aid Squad standing over me. A neighbor took my dog home and the chief of police in our town told my husband to go in the ambulance with me and that he’d come to the hospital and give him a ride back home when he was ready.
Today I actually feel healthy again, older and less fit but grateful for everything I still have. Life is good and never ever give up! I will never stop being grateful for the kindness of neighbors, friends and complete strangers.
