Wow.....first of all you're a hero and holy cow what's going on in
the world. I've had three clients in 6 weeks facing breast cancer, 1
whose husband is just diagnosed with throat cancer and his prognosis
is not good, two more separating from the their husbands. One who
left her husband at Christmas cos' he beat her, and now she's back
with him. It's crisis after crisis.

Have had a horrible two weeks, personal stuff. But it was topped
off on Friday morning.
At 7:30 a.m, I am doing a pedicure on a client that I do once a
year, ped and mani for her splurge. My ped chair sits about four
feet from the floor, with rotating seat, not the arm that swings open.
She is about53 years old. I was polishing her toes and I heard her
say, I am getting hot. I look up and she is taking her sweater
off. Didn't think much about it. Go back to polishing her toes.
I heard something. I look up. Her eyes go back, head falls back,
and the next thing I know, in seconds, she leans over to her right,
and falls over the permanent arm on the pedicure chair, head first
to floor. On her way down she hits her head on the cabinet next to
the chair, and the other pedicure chair, then slams to the floor.
This women fell OVER the permanent arm on the pedicure chair.
BAMB!!!!!!!!
I am screaming, call 911, call 911. She is breathing and shaking.
The stylist is on the phone, and yelling across the room asking me
questions for the person on the other end of the phone. I run over
there to answer the questions.
All of a sudden the other 2 stylists are standing over her, and
start yelling, she is not breathing, she is not breathing. I run
back and this women is not breathing. OH CRAP.. I yell CPR, CPR,no
one knows how to do it. OH CRAP. I took a CPR class 20 years ago,
and could not remember a thing. OH CRAP!!!
I feel her chest and there is no moving. zilch, nada, nothing. Did
I remember to check her pulse on her throat? NO. There was
nothing. So I remember how to hold my hands and start pushing her
chest, Gawd, I am thinking, I sooooooo don't want to do this. no,
no, no, I don't want to do this. I have no idea what count, or how
many times, I just kept pushing. All of a sudden I see and hear
breathe come out of her mouth. I stop and realize that she is
still not breathing and that it was from me pushing her chest. I
start again, push, push, push, saying no, no, no.
All of a sudden she starts breathing and realized that she was
bleeding from her nose and mouth. Got her to turn her head
sideways because I was afraid she would choke. She started coming
out of it and kept telling her to take deep breathes, in out, in
out, in out......just didn't want her to stop, because if she
stopped I would have to do what I had no idea what I was doing.
The police show up, the ambulance show up. She is talking now.
And after about 20 minutes they are taking her out the door,
strapped in and she wants me to get her purse and pay me!!!!!!
Don't worry about it!!!!!! As of yesterday, she was still in
hospital and they have no idea why.
I was a mess, called my daughter who will be an RN in two weeks.
She is the one that made me focus on what I did, said that I saved
a life. Of course I didn't think that, because I don't know how to
save a life, and don't have the power to save a life. She kept
saying Mom, you did everything right. You did wonderful. You got
her heart beating again. You got her breathing again. Jeez,
overwhelming.
Cried for 2 hours because of everything that has been going on in
the last couple of weeks. then.............
My next client calls me, I am a mess, and she informs me that she
can't come in because her son committed suicide the night before.
Jeez. Okay all ready, I am done. No more.
My client came in tonite, gawd, what a mess, just could not comfort
her enough. How sad.
So I am going to take another CPR class, to be updated because they
have changed things, but I never never never never want that
responsibility again. NEVER. But what I want is not what I get.
So guess I want to ask you guys have you had the training, and how
long has it been. Thanks for listening. Deb.Lynnette and Alice
have been my anchors thru all of this. iccky iccky month. diana
