I guess this post qualifies as a rant. Sorry! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Rant all you want, just don't start raving! I totally agree, that driver should have stopped and inquired about how you felt after the fall.

This brings back those memories of stories of women being assaulted, beaten, and killed while neighbors closed their windows, curtains, and their hearts and just walked away. It is a said statement on our society that this happens. In your case, what if you could not have gotten back up? What if your cell phone were in your pocket, broken, and you couldn't call for help? Perhaps that woman had limited mobility, but she should, at the very least, put down her window and called out to you to see if you needed help and could she call someone for you. I believe that is the least I would have done, and maybe tried to get to you and help however I could. However, there is a great fear of strangers these days. I have been stranded along the roadway, already called for assistance and prayed nobody else would stop because I was afraid the wrong kind of person would stop. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Perhaps she saw that you were OK and chose not to bother you.....I have had people asking me if I was OK, expressing concern when the situation didn't call for it......Busy-bodies always looking for an excuse to tut tut over someone......Perhaps her empathy extended to not wanting to embarrass you unless it was necessary.

First of all.... I'm sooo glad that you didn't break anything!! Big Warm Hugsss~~  In my opinion, any person with an iota of sensibility could have at least rolled down the window and asked if they could either help you or get someone to help you. No excuses!! I have fallen and been helped up by strangers. I sure appreciated their help.... and the concern expressed by others who rushed over to help.

Glad you are ok Pearls. A fall leaves one feeling very vulnerable and shaken. The very least she could have done was asked if you were alright. She sounds like a very uncaring person. I fell a few times over the years. Thank goodness there were kind people there to come to my assistance.

Thanks, Koffla. Nothing broken, just some scrapes and soreness but I'm sure that will resolve quickly!  A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Seeing you were not unconscious they would have been recognised stealing your stuff perhaps? Bad thought but ..... Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

I'm glad you're OK. Be careful!   Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

Pearls, the experience is surely painful. Forgive the person. God is there to save us all in such a situation. Thank God. I am glad you are okay.

I'm glad to hear, ET, that you were able to get back into your house safely after your fall. Falls are so scary. My mother broke her hip when she fell on ice, and the memory of her experience flashed back as I lay there on the ground contemplating if/how I was going to get myself upright again. I understand the advice given by your senior complex to call 911 because if the person who fell has a broken bone, any movement can cause additional injury and pain and could make things worse instead of better. I think if I were in that situation I'd call 911 on my cell while at the side of the injured person so I could follow any instructions by the dispatcher until help arrived. A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

I was puzzled by the motorist's behavior but I don't hold a grudge against her. I blogged about the incident because I hoped that by bringing attention to this person's inaction I might inspire readers to get involved if they were faced with a similar situation in the future. Like MrsJoe said it is a sad statement about our society when people close their curtains and their hearts and just walk away. A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

If you have a history of falls you might want to consider a medical alert device that you can wear. I certainly will ! I work around very large livestock on an isolated ranch and have decided that this is needed. Please consider it.

The last time I fell, it was the entrance way of the dollar store. There were a number of folks who want to help me get back up. There is a certain way that I have to do it. Abracadabra
