I was getting ready to go to Jones Beach this morning with my wife, at about 4:45am. We were going to drive the 55-miles, and meet up with a couple of other detectorists from the forum. Just before we are set to go, I hear a knock on our front door!
Who the frick is knocking on my door at 5:00 in the freakin’ morning? I open the door, and it is my elderly neighbor, who is in obvious respiratory distress. I bring her inside and sit her down, and she asks us to take her to the hospital because she “can’t afford the ambulance.” I almost cried as I picked her up and carried her to the car.
My wife is a R.N., BSN at the hospital – which is 4-minutes by car, and she called the ER as we loaded up and took off with the lady’s vital signs. We stayed until about 9:30am, till her Son arrived from New Jersey. I had got a text from Joe P, already out on the Beach about 730am, asking if I was coming. I was REALLY bummed..
As my wife and I left the hospital, the Son came out and told us they were going to transfer his Mom to another hospital for heart surgery, and thanked us profusely for helping her. I felt about 2-inches tall for being so upset about missing my beach date after that.
And now the weird part of the story..
When we got out to the parking garage I opened the car door for my wife, looked down and saw this – heads up! But wait, there’s more! My neighbor is 76-years old!!!!! The hair on the back of my neck is STILL standing up!
