IMPOSSIBLE, but…..

 Car of the day:

 

For today:

I have heard of real-life experiences where men and women would do absolutely ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ THINGS under pressure or a so-called adrenaline rush.  I remember hearing that my brother Odis carried things from their burning house by himself that were heavy and bulky among them a Refrigerator and a hid-a-bed.

Then I read of a man in this in an article, and smiled:

QUOTE:

One cold dark night in March 2011, my wife woke me from a very deep sleep.

“There’s a fire!” she shouted.

At the time, my mother-in-law was living with us, and she was bedridden.

After jumping out of my bed and fighting the fire for as long as I dared, and finally giving up, I ran to my mother-in-law’s bedroom, scooped her up out of bed, and carried her out of the house like she weighed nothing.

Not only did she seem to weigh nothing, I felt no cold while standing outside in the street holding her, although I was wearing pajamas, barefoot, and standing in the ice and snow.

While the fire department fought the fire—more successfully than I had done, I am happy to say—our neighbor across the street took us in. One of my sons had rescued my mother-in-law’s wheelchair from our house. I carried her across the street and placed her in the wheelchair in our neighbor’s entryway.

Our neighbor, an elderly lady living alone, had a split-level house. She told us we could stay downstairs for the night. The wheelchair couldn’t go down the stairs, so I bent over to pick up my mother-in-law out of her wheelchair, to carry her down the stairs.

I couldn’t lift her at all. I had lost my temporary super-strength from adrenaline.

It took me and both of my teenage boys to get her out of the wheelchair.

Do you know of any incidents like that?
