Bouncing back\/Looking back…<\/h3>\n

A Visit with Teri Douglas<\/h1>\n

\u201cI died three times. The first time I called 911 and passed out while talking to them. They used my cellphone signal to find me and they did chest compressions and the paddles and brought me back. Then I coded again in the ambulance. Again the paddles. Then, the third time was in the ER.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cLater I had two doctors ask me if I saw relatives or white lights but I don\u2019t remember anything from when I called 911 until I came out of the coma.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was a joy to see Teri Douglas walking around the Activities Office. Yes, she had a cane for balance till she gets more strength back, and yes, she was wearing a portable defibrillator till she does more cardiac rehab, but still, she looked healthy and sounded happy. She laughed as she recalled the reactions from friends at the park: \u201cWhen they did the chest compressions they broke my ribs, so for a while giving hugs hurt a little.\u201d She added, \u201cThe problem is that all the shocks and the lack of blood to my brain affected my memory and so I\u2019m going to need people to reintroduce themselves.\u201d\u00a0(Photo: Teri outside the Activities office in late May)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

But Teri\u2019s memory was working just fine when we sat down to reflect on last season\u2019s events at the park. Knowing that she loves photography, we\u2019d ask her to do a special feature for The Silveridge Sun, to look back over her photos from the season and pick a dozen or so favorites. We\u2019re pleased to pass them along below. We won\u2019t try to name everyone in the photos, especially given that she enjoyed getting pictures of the crowds at events, but we added a few of the memories that came flooding back as Teri went over her selections.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fun night at the pickleball courts. (When we complimented Teri on this photo she said modestly, \u201cThe camera shouldn\u2019t do things it does.\u201d She also added that there are also plans for a photography club starting-up in the Fall.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
Below are a couple of photos from the street dance, which was to feature a pair of food trucks. The problem was that one of the trucks got in an accident on the way to the event, so only one truck turned up. But, as Teri recalled, \u201cThey really worked hard and did a great job. In the photo of the truck, you can see a row of pictures of food items and as they ran out, they\u2019d just take down a photo.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The performance by the Highland High Strolling Strings \u2013 Teri noted that the young musicians were not just on stage but spread across the room. She tells us that they\u2019ll be back next season.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

And, finally\u2026<\/p>\n

Many of the park\u2019s events feature a picture booth and that\u2019s where you were likely to find Teri. She singled out this one because it features Kevin and Joy Reski \u2013 it\u2019s Joy and her crew that do the decorating, including the photo backgrounds.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re all hoping Teri and her camera will be back next season to once again take on her role as Assistant Activities Director. When we asked if she thought she would be up to it, we were delighted to hear her say, \u201cI\u2019m planning on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Between now and then there\u2019s cardiac rehab and physical therapy but we can report that her laugh and her spark are already all the way back.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
