What I remember

Let me tell you what i  remember about the day of the stroke.

I went to work at five that morning, as I had for several weeks. They were adding on to the building, which meant a lot of extra work for Inventory Department, but also a lot of overtime.

I was alone on the Receiving side, getting ready to move some pallets, when I suddenly felt weak. I sat down, thinking it would pass. When it didn't I called my wife to come take me to the hospital and caled my boss on the radio and asked him to meet me in the breakroom.

I sat down, and my boss came in a few minutes later.  By  this time I was sweating profusely and barely able to hold my head up.

I told him I wasn't feeling well and Lora was coming to take me to the emergency room. I explained what I'd been doing and who could cover for me, and he got me a bottle of water and my things, and sat with me until Lora got there. By the time she did, some of the managers from the front office were there, and one of them helped me to her car.

I don't remember much after that. I said hello to the girls and Gruntley, and leaned the seat back, and talked to Lora. All I remember of the ride is telling her not to speed.

And that's it.
