My son is a lifeguard. One of the girls in the pool got a suddenly intense headache. He sat her down and looked her over. There was fluid coming out of her ear. He put her on a spinal board just to be on the safe side, and called emergency. He found out later that the fluid leaking from her ear was spinal fluid she'd had a rupture of some sort that caused her spinal fluid to leak out her ear. If he hadn't spotted that, she would have died later that day.

Years ago, I parallel parked my car on a busy street in Hollywood where I lived at the time. The street was on a hill and my car was parked on the downhill side of traffic a couple hundred feet from a blind curve in the road. I checked for cars and got out of the driver's side of the car, being careful not to step too far in the street. There were no cars going by at the time.

Suddenly, a voice inside my head shouted "FREEZE!!! DON'T MOVE!!!" I instinctually froze and pressed myself up against my car even though I had no idea why. Out of nowhere a large city bus came barreling around the curve going at least 60mph and missed hitting me by just a couple inches. I can still feel the wind from the bus on the back of my neck at it blew past me. If I had taken just half a step back to lock my car door, I would have been flattened and that would have been it.

Even worse, my future husband was with me and would have witnessed it all. It still shakes him up to think about how close he came to losing me that day.

Not taking that pill. And then decided to quit all d***s. 🤞🏽🙏🏽 two months sober.

I’m here today because I woke up late on Sept. 11th and decided not to go into work.

Was in a bombing. Knelt down to sign something when the detonation happened. Glass shards were a hair away from ki**ling me. The person who gave me the paper to sign technically saved me, they’re fine too.
