I was brought Into the ER by rescue squad from Jackson Lake Lodge. We were there celebrating our 50th Anniversary. I woke up the day we were to leave and drive back to Ohio, when I could not form a sentence. My first thought, I had had a stroke.
I was met in ER by Chris an RN, who started the ball rolling in the events of the next 24 hours. I was very impressed by his kindness and professionalism. The doctor in ER, I have forgotten his name but not his long white hair,
began ordering tests and ruling things out at a quick pace. Test number one ruled out a stroke. Blood work showed my Potassium had dropped as had my O2 level.
By early afternoon I was admitted to the hospital and was surrounded by very kind and caring nurses and staff. For the next 24 hours they guided me back to feeling normal. There were words of encouragement and comfort, which I really needed.

The staff also treated my husband, Don, with kindness. They arranged a room in the small hotel, owned by St. John s Medical Center across the street which was much appreciated. The cost $45 per night.

I was discharged the following afternoon with two loaves of homemade bread and again words of encouragement by Terrie an RN, one of the nicest women I ever met. The next day my phone rang in the car, it was Terrie checking up on me. It brought tears to my eyes,

The Social Worker, again name forgotten, made sure that my medical reports were sent to my primary doctor in Ohio. His office called and we set up an appointment on the day I got home.

I truly can not say enough about this experience and how positive it was.

Thanks to everyone who helped me get back on my feet so far from home. I smile when I think of each and every one of you. Plus the absolutely beautiful scenery, WOW!
