Editor: On Saturday, May 30, I was on my balcony at my Langley City home. It is located within a townhouse development.
I fell while on my deck and I could not get up. I had fallen in such a position that no one could see me.
This took place early in the evening.
I called out for help, and my call was responded to by someone who was below the deck, which is on an upper floor. This person could not see me, but assured me that he or she would call the authorities.
Before I knew it, Langley RCMP were on the scene, followed shortly by an ambulance.
I was taken to Langley Memorial Hospital, and later released. While I am very stiff and sore, there were no serious injuries, for which I am very grateful.
I want to thank the person who called 911 on my behalf. It was truly a wonderful act of kindness.
I also want to thank the members of the RCMP and the ambulance crew who responded and took such good care of me.
Elaine Stevens,
Langley
