I work on the 2nd floor of a two story building and today I went downstairs and since I have been having really bad seizures I have been using the elevator for safety reasons. I was coming back up from downstairs and when I pressed the 2nd floor button and the doors just closed shut then the power surged in the building. Well the elevator stopped. Then there was no power for a brief second and then the lights came back on but the elevator still did not move. I then decided to press the 2nd floor button again and still no movement. I started to press the 1st floor button but still no movement. I then pressed these buttons again with the same results. I waited for a minute but remained calm. I kept telling myself not to panic or I will make the situation much worse for myself. I then decided to press the emergency button and dispatch 911. After a few minutes the Fire Dept. came and rescued me but they were surprised about how calm I remained throughout the whole process. Quite frankly so am I but I am glad I did because I probably would have had a seizure if I did freak out in the elevator and then that would have made the situation much worse.
