OVERCOMING A SHATTERING FALL
In This Issue: KGH SITE REDEVELOPMENT
“ I have the greatest respect for the doctors,
nurses, orderlies and the other people who are there to help. - Bob Edwards
”
An August morning felt like the perfect time to do a bit of cleanup around the cottage. Bob Edwards went up on a ladder to clean off the roof while his wife, Pam, supervised. Pam went inside to make lunch while Bob was finishing up. As he reached for one last pinecone, he slipped from the ladder, fell and screamed. “My neighbour later told me it was the most blood-curdling scream he’d ever heard,” said Bob with a shudder.

“I knew from my past first-aid training that I shouldn’t try to move,“ recalls Bob. “All I could think about as I was lying there was that I’d ruined everything.” Bob and Pam had been planning a trip to Scotland. Even in his state of shock, Bob couldn’t help but feel that this fall would change their plans.

Pam called 911 and Bob remained where he’d fallen on the ground until help arrived.
