Oh dear the fourth person I’ve heard of ( seen 2) in a week falling down. What could be happening? Climate change of course.
The climate has always changed, and always will…..hope the poor guy is OK…
Absolutely, I too hope this person is ok. But you didnt get my sarcasm! We all know deep down inside our mind what is really going on,but some find it hard to face. Dam conspiracy nuts!
Vaccine injuries, that is why the Government have increased their
Vaccine Injury dept by 2,000%
From 4 employees to 80 employees
It would help if the facts were correct
Please could you supply the correct facts then, Heather?
The male (my dad) was lying on the floor next to the person who was hurt (my mom) unfortunately she is at the hospital and has broken her hip. Wanted to take the opportunity to thank the bystanders who took the time to stop and help. I remember a gentleman diverting the traffic away from where she was . And a lady who was calming her down. Another lady who phoned the ambulance and stayed with her until they come. I understand there was a off duty nurse and a paramedic and first aiders aswell from what I can remember. It was all hectic. But a massive thank you to you all.
Wishing your mum a full and speedy recovery
Thank you
Hi Keely , I was the lady on the phone and witnessed her fall. Thank you for your thank you and I hope she is okay. Your dad was great too at looking after your Mum x
