Oh dear! EMS at my friend's place!

Yesterday, my former client's helper was supposed to come over and pick up her clean clothes. For whatever reason, she didn't come or call. So, today I needed to go to the post office, that is pretty close to my former client's place. I figured that I would swing by and drop off the clean clothes. When I arrived, there was an ambulance and another EMS truck in the parking lot. What am I supposed to think? I walked to the apartment and expected a full house trying to take my friend out. Nope. They were working on her helper. It seemed the gal had fainted. While I was there, I resorted my friend's bedroom, putting her stuff back together. I dumped her suction jar and filled her humidity bottle. I also brought in her laundry. It seems they didn't want her helper to lift anything. At least the good news was that my friend wasn't sick this time.

While I hope the helper is ok, sounds like she might need a healthier one!

That's why I'm not her helper anymore. My fibro has gotten so that I can't promise I'll be good from one day to the next.

@Jessicalynnt I did it for 5 years but I knew I wasn't able to keep doing it.

Good that wasn't your friend. I hope the helper is all right. You may have to help your friend find a new helper.

She's got a company to do that and the gal think's she's just not been drinking enough water.
