Saved my life 💜.
This was almost 9 years ago. She was instructed to give me CPR and wait until the ambulance arrive. For years I had been to countless doctors...people literally thought I was exaggerating my symptoms or a "hypochondriac" because the doctors always said "nothing was wrong" and then misdiagnosed me with "osteoarthritis"...and this almost cost me, my daughter, and possibly another person driving that day life. I'm thankful my mother went all "John Q" on them and refused to leave the hospital until we had legit answers.
Since that day, I've learned to live with something hard. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY...I do my best and let God handle the rest!
