YOU JUST NEVER KNOW

After getting a hearing test today that revealed much hearing loss, and above all how my brain no longer understand certain sounds, I stopped by Sherm's Thunder Bird market thinking how my old body is falling apart, maybe a case of feeling sorry for myself.   It was mid day and the store was crowded with shoppers, mostly old folks like myself making their way through the different aisles.   As I came into the main aisle I noticed a crowd of people assembled at the far end near the meat section.   Then I saw a man on the floor as store employee or another customer was giving him CPR.   Other shoppers looked shocked as they were frozen in place.   I moved on down another aisle as EMT's arrived with a stretcher.   Soon they yelled for people to get out of the way as they carried the man out of the store.   A man standing near me asked what was going on since many in the store had no idea what had happened.   I told him about what I saw and made the comment, "you just never know".   He replied, "that's the truth".   I left the store praying that the man would survive and feeling better that I'm still moving and thankful for what I can hear. 

PS:  yes, I will be wearing hearing aids in a few weeks that will help me and my old brain understand  what I have not heard or understood for a good part of my adult life.
