I want to thank some people who came to my aid.

On June 17, I went to Lowe’s to buy some parts. As I walked into the store, I understand I turned, went out, and started suffering a seizure of some kind.

A U.S. Army medic (name unknown), Steve Daley (store manager) and Teresa (last name unknown), department manager, rushed to my aid. They did first aid until the rescue squad got there and took over.

I understand the people of the squad had to do life-saving techniques a couple of times to keep me going. I don’t know their names either.

At the ER, nurses Angela Richardson and Tom (last name unknown) continued to work on me, along with the doctors, whose names I don’t know. I was transfered to the Waldrip unit, where ICU nurse Angie stayed by my side, only leaving to check on another patient, then back to watching over me.

I was transferred to another room on Monday and continued my recovery. I came home on Friday, June 22.

Everyone I was in contact with treated me like I was their only patient and helped me on my road to recovery. Thank you to all!
