And, he's so unassuming that he didn't do anything special. I suspect some would have let him slump to the floor and stood around wondering what they could do. My girlfriend in town did that one morning as we were leaving breakfast in a local restaurant. Her husband caught her as she mumbled something about feeling faint. The staff was extra nice too and called for an ambulance right away. Nice to see this young man helping.Mariodacatsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040681324029176934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-29140098783578446462013-04-10T05:47:29.667-07:002013-04-10T05:47:29.667-07:00Hi Julie .. being prepared - some people just are ...Hi Julie .. being prepared - some people just are like that, but so good for him and good for others to see the care taken.<br /><br />Fun to read .. hanging on to his pants giving him a wedgie .. he's probably just grateful that he's able to get out and about still .. and his wife has a sensible head on her!<br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-38065221984060801832013-04-10T00:00:48.691-07:002013-04-10T00:00:48.691-07:00Wonderful.

It's an outdoor street market with lots of bustle, but the only person to lend a hand was another older person, a woman who is a regular vendor. By the time I reached them, she had the man on his feet and was telling him he needed a walker or he was going to break something. Sage advice from one elder to another. No wedgies involved in this rescue.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-80184347930837397472013-04-09T06:57:08.312-07:002013-04-09T06:57:08.312-07:00They probably appreciated the way it was kept low ...They probably appreciated the way it was kept low profile to minimal embarrassment.
