Just getting home from the farm at 3 A. M. I got called at 12:30 from my night milker, though it was his wife who called. "Dave is acting really strange, can you come down?"
"Yes I'll be there."
I hang up and get out of bed and get dressed. The Mrs. Has been up, throwing up a times already, and now gets up to do so again. I figure Dave has the flu or is fighting with his wife, so I load bowl to go while I'm down in the basement. The Mrs. wIil have to vomit on her own for a bit. I live a quarter mile a way and enjoy a nice night time walk with a pipe, so I figure to walk. Just as I step off the porch, I see the lights.
Police cruisers are out front. Shit. Change of transportation, I run back in and grab the keys to the jeep. Then I heard screaming. I speed on over and there is an ambulance parked out by the house. My aunt and uncle and my cousin's husband (he's an EMS) are out by the front. I shout some nonsense about Dave is having a problem up at the parlor. I turn the corner around the garage and see his wife and child. I park and see two police officers holding Dave down and cuffs on the ground. I run into the parlor and take milkers off the cows and let them out. Run back outside, his wife was telling that he had a siezure. Now there were three cops on him, my aunt was taking his daughter to the house. This is something she didn't need to see. I go back to milk the rest of the group of cows. I make a call home letting the mrs. Know I'm gonna be awhile and call my dad.
After I finish the group I head back out and get the story. He was feeling fine when he showed up then wasn't feeling good and called his wife ( he has a history of seizures I guess, and I faintly recall him mentioning it). She shows up and his leg is twitching uncontrollably. He collapses in the parlor and gets up and goes outside. That's when she called me. The police show up, he fights with them and a siezure insues. I show up right after.
So all in all its been a strange night. I finished milking and ended up pulling a calf. So I'll be tired as hell tomorrow and we will see what happens.
