Rae you inspired this thread.
My last thread asked about people's worst experiences with people upon recovering but has anyone been pleasantly surprised by a stranger or someone unexpectedly stepping up to the plate and taking care of you?
Perhaps it is better to focus on our positive experiences I am learning.
My favourite experience has been with a boss of mine at work who is always kind but somewhat aloof with me. I didn't know he was so paternal!
The first time he "caught" me having a seizure he gently stepped towards me and softly asked "Sweetie...are you ok?" He had never called me sweetie before.
He then knelt down beside me and monitored my pulse and waited with me until the worst was over. He then asked again if I was ok and waited until I was able to squeeze his hand and breathe normally. He then patted my shoulder (I think) and kept on checking up on me until I could talk and move again.
