Perhaps not, but it may have been an inadvertent alluding to another [alleged] event in her life, during childbirth, when she [allegedly] experienced a near death experience. This [alleged] experience propelled her onto the stage she finds herself on today. Perhaps, not such a mistake after all.

When I first received the snail mailed letter from Betty Bland, from the
diction, vocabulary and style, it was clear that someone with excellent
command of English language must have drafted and/or edited it, because it
was too good to be written by her. In closing lines of the letter quoted by
Pedro states:

"I am sending this to every Gen Sec. You may see lightening striking me!
Feel free to share it with others. BB"

When I looked at the word "lightening" in the dictionary, its definition is:

Lightening:

"the descent of the uterus into the pelvic cavity, occurring toward the end
of pregnancy, changing the contour of the abdomen and facilitating breathing
by lessening pressure under the diaphragm."

I am sure this is not what she meant!!!
