Tuesday, David went to Lockheed to work. So, I was homebound for the day and trying to keep myself occupied and entertained. Early in the afternoon, there was a faint knock on the door. Keira of course got very upset and began barking, normally she just huffs a bit, but because David was gone, she was pretty protective. I opened the door to find a woman in tears. She was hot, sweaty, tired and feeling sick. She explained she had been walking from a hotel, got overheated and was afraid she was having a heat stroke. Frankly, I was too. But David was gone and I was by myself so I asked her to sit outside in the shade, got her some ice water and called an ambulance. The 911 operator told me not to let her drink that water and I needed to get her out of the heat. Perhaps cool her down with wet towels and put her in front of a fan. Eventually, the ambulance did arrive and the paramedics took good care of her and got her to the hospital. That certainly kept me occupied for the afternoon!! I can only guess she saw the RV park and began knocking on doors until she found someone to help her. Thank goodness I was able to help her.
