Staining Doors and 9/11 calls...

Yesterday I installed a couple of new door hinges,some doors, and some other stuff in an elderly womens house. I ran out of time and needed to come back this morning and sand and stain the stuff I fixed. So after went to Home Depot (see entry below) to get the stain I went back to her house. I worked for an hour and a half and I was almost finished when her sister came over...and thats when things got interesting. Her sister (also very very old) took her blood pressure and it was through the roof. At the same time the lady turned very pale and was acting really weird.
I was around listening to them talk for a bit, when I came in the room and told them I was finished with the work I had to do. Her sister looked at me intently and said that it would be really nice if i could stay for a bit just in case. So, I stood around for a bit more...and the lady became to weak to move (which freaked me out hardcore)and her sister called 911. I helped the lady do a bunch of stuff and basically carried her to her sisters car. Then I shut all the lights off, locked the doors, told the lady I was praying for her and left. I spent about an hour helping her sister out and moving her around...and it was pretty intense most of the time.

The cool thing is that the lady and I talked about our faith the day before. She is a strong believer and has a good story to tell about her life. I hope she turned out ok.
