Indiana Sectionals Part 2 – The Power of Heartbeats
Good Morning Everyone,
So here is part two of what happened at the Indiana sections. (Yes, there is no Part 1 yet. That’s coming. I was driving into work today and this incident just started to make me think about Life, the Universe and Everything,; so I decided to write it down).
On Saturday afternoon, we were all sitting around the joint 31/46 business meeting. Mandy and I were in the back of the room at a table with some of the “old folks”. All of a sudden I saw one of my friends run out of the meeting, then a couple minutes came back, looked at someone with a very strange look and that person ran across the room. The next thing I did was get up to see what was going on. It seemed that one of the actives was having an anxiety attack but this was common for her. So I came back into the room and let the people who were running the meeting know what was going on so they weren’t worried. Then what came next was the strange part.
My friend came back into the room with a very strange look on his face and gestured for me to come over. Then he said something about heartbeats and needing help. I started to freak a little bit. Heartbeats and trouble are not a good combination. So I went out into the hall and say the girl on the floor in the coatroom with makeup all down her face, crying, flipping out and my friend and her friend seemed worried. Then I realized that they were asking me if I had a slow regular heartbeat. I said yes. Then I got on the ground next to Lindsey and she put here hand on my chest. The next thing she was weeping saying I can’t hear it, I can’t here it. The she put her head on my chest and I just hugged her close. I just held her for five -ten minutes or so. (I don’t know how long it was because I was trying to keep my self calm. She needed someone who had a slow heartbeat so she could listen too and I was trying not to let my heartbeat raise because I started to freak a bit. And let me say when you’re in that situation with someone you don’t know and they’re freaking out, this is not an easy task).
So after she started to calm down I figured out what was going on. He was on medicine for that kinda of problem and the doctor had just changed her medicine doses and it caused issues. I guess she tried to listening to her friend’s heartbeat and it was too fast because she had drinken a lot of caffiene that day. Then my friend had tried to be the heartbeat and his was slow but not regular. I guess he had some heart surgery and it would have a nirregular beat that actually was making things worse for her.
I think the funniest part was when Lindsey was coming out of the attack, her friend introduced her to me. She had seen me throughout the day. Her reply made me laugh. She said I figured it was Sol because of his belly, no offense. I thought it was funny.
So a long story short she was okay and everything worked great. Granted it was weird and crazy experience. I think I learned an important fact about me. My heartbeat and belly can calm down babies and panicky women. Ahh the power of the belly! I think I should tell me doctor that next time he wants me to lose weight. H
Ode to the Belly!
Until next time (hopefully Indy Sectionals point 1 will be next
