A number of our neighbors in New Berlin are self employed. We have various professions and keep an assortment of hours without regard to the calendar or the clock. Work is done when it needs to be ...at the pleasure of the clients that we all serve.
David's cell phone rang yesterday and faster than a speeding bullet, David flew out the door and the car quickly drove away . A million thoughts swirling through your head knowing that there was an emergency of some kind enfolding.
Our neighbor next door is self employed, his wife on a business trip out of state and teenagers in school. Chest pain of the dangerous scary kind struck and he called David to take him to Urgent Care, David called from the car to tell me where they were going. There was no time to suggest calling 911....they were already at Urgent Care and quickly transported him to a local hospital known for their cardiac care. We got in touch with the neighbor's wife and got him situated at the hospital where they put in two stents. The doctor said that the "quick ride" had prevented any damage to the heart.
I threw together what I knew to be one of the kids favorite comfort food dinners...spaghetti and meatballs (always have an extra batch of meatballs in the freezer) and David assured them their Dad would be fine and needed some rest and an overnight stay at the hospital.
The next time you think about letting a call go to voice mail...think again..you never know when that call can be a life saving opportunity .
