FRIENDS, KEEP COUGHING!

(From a friend:)
I have attended many CPR classes over the years, but was never told this particular scenario, however i was told that when your body starts sweating profusely for no apparent reason followed by what feels like a spasm at the end of your esophagus, that is your body’s warning signs.

When you are alone and have a heart attack, what are you gonna do? A really good post that can't be shared often enough:

1. Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

2. You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..

4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.

8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.

Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.

Our Story

Aging Gracefully In-Home Care for seniors came into existence from a deep heartfelt love for senior citizens. Shannon Fothergill, current administrator of Aging Gracefully, began working with seniors in 1998 when she joined her sister as part owner of Bridge to Independence In-Home Care for seniors. Shannon had graduated two years earlier with a Bachelor of Social Work and had worked at Senior Citizens of Greater Dallas (now The Senior Source) and at Golden Acres Dallas Home for the Jewish aged.

Ms. Fothergill continued working with the geriatric community as a Medical Social Worker at Doctors Hospital in Dallas for three years. Shannon had a passion that had been embedded in her since she had been brought up around grandparents both maternal and paternal and even had the privilege of knowing her great-grandparents.

As a child, Shannon and her sister had spent summers passing out flyers in the local area offering to provide housekeeping, laundry service, and errand running to seniors in need.
