Thank you SO very much to all the good samaritans who came to my aid on Sunday afternoon after I tripped and did a face plant at Spring Garden and Queen. A very special Bravo Zulu to the man who came with a First Aid kit and put pressure on my cut and reassured me. I believe thanks to you, I needed no stitches! Also to the kind lady who phoned the restaurant twice to let my waiting family know what had happened. Thank you to others who also stopped and asked the First Aider if he needed more help. From the people who went and got the Paramedic in the coffee shop; and to the Paramedics who came on call. Thank you all very much for your caring and good care. Note to myself: DO NOT walk with hands in the pockets. I could not get them out quick enough to break my fall. Using my face to stop, not so great 🙂 but all is well, could have been worse. —Lady in the Green Parka
