She’d had a stroke a few years ago, before I joined the company. Today my office mate came back from her walk and asked if I knew what happened to her. I hadn’t heard a thing. Apparently she felt faint in the toilet. She went back to her office, and then went to the front office. The VP was on the phone, but she could see how ill my boss looked. She had someone call 9-1-1. As it happened, there was an ambulance outside, as a woman had collapsed outside of our door. The VP went downstairs and notified them, and they also called for another ambulance (in addition to the initial 9-1-1 call).
The paramedics examined her in the office, and then they led her out. She looked very weak. They’d brought a gurney, but my boss didn’t want it. We have a stair chair, but it turns out it doesn’t work. They helped her walk down the 23 steep stairs.
I’m telecommuting Friday, so I’ll be a bit out of the loop. I did get onto her computer and sent some file to my coworker to work on, and I sent myself enough to keep me busy until at least Tuesday.
I hope my boss recovers quickly.
