Hopes for a swift, complete recovery. Of course “she” was there. She’s ALWAYS there, infusing you with her spirit. When crisis comes, she makes her spiritual presence more obvious, , helping you navigate a way forward. I know this for a fact from my own life experience. She’s ALWAYS there, reminding me just when I need her the most. ❤️

When I needed her most it seems.

May you be healed easily Barri! Thanks for sharing this and also for the reminder to create a plan of action in an emergency!

I had a terrible head injury thanks to my chiropractor - brain bleed and every day I wished my mom was there to assure me and hold my hand. Eight months later I still long for her to hold my hand.

Chills!! What a powerful experience! Thanks for sharing 💛 side note - it must’ve been so disorienting and scary waking up on the floor not remembering how you got there. As a fellow serial fainter I can relate. Glad you’re ok :)

I wrote this on my phone. Laying down. No idea how to add buttons or photos. Just laid it bare. Thanks for reading.

barri — your words … YOUR WORDS! I am transcended next to you in the middle of the night … my experience as an ER nurse is those ER docs are *really* good at stitches .. Sending you healing and loving thoughts as you recover and rebound ❤️

Barri Barri Barri, I was on the edge of my seat reading this in its entirety. How scary!

I'm so relieved that you're okay, and got the help you needed––the reassurance from your Mom––and good ol' Dr. Chin.

Do you have WiFi connectivity with your phone or maybe need a booster?

And call went through to FD, nobody was there. Town WiFi is notoriously bad and spotty. Known issue. Also the only 24/27 "manned" phone for emergency locally is PD. Good to know in your area.

Wow. So grateful you are ok!

Scary for sure. You had me holding my breath. We’re in October now it sounds like you made it through. What a wonderful presence that your mother brought beautiful. Thank you 🙏

You cannot be the only resident with this concern!

It's a NIMBY issue. It is a town-wide issue. Someone is going to lose their life.
