Avondale woman grateful for help from off duty paramedics

Letter to the Editor

My name is Winnie Myers from Avondale. My family and I were at Jungle Jim’s in CBS for a celebratory birthday party for my daughter on Feb. 11. Unfortunately, I was only inside for about 10 minutes when I became very ill suffering from one of the worst episodes of Ménière’s disease that I have ever experienced. I was unable to raise my head or move and was suffering from terrible vertigo. Almost immediately I was approached by two male first responders and a lady paramedic who just happened to be there to enjoy a nice evening. None were on duty but were absolute angels to me. I don’t know who they were, but they helped me out of a very tense, uncomfortable, debilitating situation. You have my deepest gratitude. Also thank you to the Firemen and the Ambulance attendants who arrived asap. Thankfully I’m much better now and want to say a ‘Sincere Thank You’ to all who helped me and my family through such an uncomfortable situation. There definitely are some wonderful caring people around and although I wasn’t able to focus on your faces and I don’t know your names, thank you a thousand times.

My deepest gratitude is yours.

Winnie Myers,

Avondale
