On Wednesday June 26th at about 6:45 pm I had a slip and fall in the parking lot of the Food Basics on Essa Road. I was grabbing a few quick items while my mother-in-law was visiting from out of town.
My wallet and phone flew out of my hands and was out of my reach. I was flat on my stomach and could not move. My ankle was severely injured, and I was certain it was broken due to the pain I was experiencing.
SO MANY wonderful people stopped to help me. A woman who was walking behind me asked me if I was okay (before I started screaming) and phoned 911. Another woman got my wallet and phone and called my husband to let him know what happened. A man who says he was a fireman (or retired fireman … can’t remember) helped me get turned over and elevated my ankle. A woman holding her newborn baby said she was a nurse and was instructing people what to move and what not to move – asking me if I hit my head or not.
And all these people helped and waited with me in the pouring rain!!! …
