A RETIRED MAN WAS EXCITED TO GET OUT IN HIS YARD AND RAKE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS “GIVIN’ IT” LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES AFTER A LONG WINTER… BRISK, RAPID, RAKING. HE WAS MAKING SOME PROGRESS, AND THEN HE NOTICED HE WAS STARTING TO HAVE SOME UNUSUAL PAIN IN HIS LEFT ARM AND CHEST. SO HE SAT DOWN TO TAKE A REST… NEXT, HE BEGAN TO SWEAT. NOBODY ELSE WAS HOME, SO HE DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES OR BET.. SO HE CALLED HIS NEIGHBOR, TOLD HIM WHAT HE WAS FEELING AND WHAT WAS WRONG… THEN DIALED 911… WHILE HE WAITED HE DID A SMART THING… HE DIDN’T LAY DOWN.
