This afternoon while walking toward the building I met
my neighbour Sue. She was talking about her health aliments as we entered the
building so I offered a sympathetic ear. Suddenly as we were walking down a flight of stairs she tripped and
fell forward I tried to catch her but her weight knocked me off balance and we both
fell to the floor. I was ok, no scrapes or scratches but Sue didn’t look good she
was crying in pain her knees hurt and was lying on her side at the bottom of
the stairs. I immediately got up and thought of calling the building security
tenant but Sue said no instead she asked me to summon her friend who was
waiting outside at her car. Sue’s friend
and I helped her slowly to her feet and eventually Sue recovered from the
fall. I offered to help carry Sue’s
groceries from the car and told her to rest and not worry about it. It was a scary moment for all
of us. Sue will probably be sore for a
while and I hope she’ll recover soon. It could have been worse, if I wasn’t in
front of her holding the door open she could have hit her head on the closed door
at the bottom of the stairs. In the past I've slipped a few times on the narrow stairway which only has one partial guard rail. Hmm! Sounds like a lawsuit may be in order tenant Sue should look into it. Anyway I recommended she use the elevator from now on.
Later Sue & I laughed how ridiculous we must have looked being knocked down like a pair of bowling pins. :D Come Monday the KMHC staff will see what happened on their stop-motion security cameras located at the front entrance and hallway. No doubt they'll be sitting in the office eating popcorn and sipping soft drinks while watching the monitor. :P

See folks! This is what I do when any native elder tenant
needs assistance and help. I’m always there for them and it’s appreciated. It’s too bad UNH’s and the HSC don’t acknowledge
the helpful things I do around here and would rather bitch about menial issues.
I’d like to publicly thank the tenants of KMHC for the abundance
of Christmas greeting cards delivered under my door. My Christmas tree looks well decorated. :)
