I had to leave work early a few weeks back because it was coming on and I had to race home to make it to my O2 with the hope that it would work this time. I get a mile away from home and a cop pulls me over. "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?" he asked. I told him I didn't but I was quite sure I was speeding because of a medical emergency. I explained in about 25 words (all I could mutter at that point) what a CH was and I was going home to get to my oxygen. He seemed really impressed that it's something that required oxygen but he also decided to give me a WAY long speech about how I could have run over a child. I didn't ask him what child would have been on such a major road. Nor did I tell him if he didn't shut up and get out of my way HE'D be the one run over.
There you go. Aren't all your lives enriched by that little snippet?
