Water lesson for senior

I fell because I was dehydrated. Now I take a bottle of water when I walk to town.

I would like to thank the Good Samaritan who called the ambulance when I fell on Inkman Road (in Agassiz) on July 26.

I was taken by ambulance to the Hope hospital, where the doctor and nurses did tests to determine why I fell. I fell because I was dehydrated. Now I take a bottle of water when I walk to town.

Thanks again to the person who called the ambulance and the ambulance drivers and the doctor and nurses at the Hope hospital. I even got lunch at the hospital.

There is a lesson here. Elderly people should always have water when they walk in hot weather.

I was trying to be 27 instead of 67.

Thank goodness I live in a small town, where people still care about each other.
