Lending a Hand

I received a call last night from my best friend in Ohio . Her sister, Bev was in Tampa for a conference and was presently sitting in the ER with an eye injury. I was out the door in less than thirty minutes with an overnight bag packed just in case. Bev was in great pain and essentially blind. She needed comfort and aid. I took her to get prescriptions filled and to her hotel. I stayed and today took her to a follow up visit to an ophthalmologist. Her morning flight had to be cancelled and rescheduled. She needs to see another specialist tomorrow so she extended her stay and again rescheduled her flight. Tonight she is in much less pain. She lost the top layer of her eyeball, but seems to be healing. She still has to keep both eyes closed but she is possibly getting some vision back in her injured eye. Its amazing how life can turn on a dime. I've known Bev for thirty years and we have taken many trips together with her sis, my bestie, just recently in July to West Virginia. I'm so glad I was here for this journey.
