subject: Twas the Fall Before Christmas [print this page] Twas the Fall Before Christmas Twas the Fall Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house - not a creature was stirring not even my spouse.
My medications were set by the bed stand with care - in hopes that a good night's sleep would soon be here. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter - I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Down the stairs I flew, perhaps a bit too quick - forgetting about my arthritic foot, knee, and hip.
As I started to fall I looked for something to brace - grabbing my table with Santa's village and holiday lace.
But down I went to the floor below - bring with me the village, lace and artificial snow.
Lying on the floor surrounded by Christmas debris - I had massacred Santa's workshop, some elves, and trees.
Try as I might, I couldn't move at all - not even roll over to the phone to make a call.
"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!" I declared - hoping my husband would hear me up stairs.
But sound asleep he was, nestled in our bed - with visions of Christmas turkey dancing in his head.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear - upon my chest among all the plastic reindeer?
My Life Alert pendant shining like a gift from heaven - so I can call for help, fast, 24/7.
After pushing my help button, a reassuring voice, I must say - was keeping me calm while help was on the way.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard at the door - the knocking of help to lift me from the floor.
The firemen suddenly appeared like Santa's magic elves - and I laughed with relief, in spite of myself.
Dressed in uniforms, professional from head to foot - their clothes were clean and neat, no ashes or soot.
A bundle of tools were set on the floor - they checked my vitals and so much more.
In no time, upon my feet walking I was able - they even set Santa's village back on the table.
My night before Christmas fall had been put to the test - resulting in Life Alert Emergency Response being the best.
With 5 areas of protections for the family and home - from monitored help, smoke/gas alarms, and even a mobile phone.
One touch of a button sends help immediately - ror medical, fall, fire and other emergencies.
So I can maintain an independent lifestyle - with confidence, security, and a victorious smile.
I am ever so grateful to my Life Alert Protection - and the EMTs, who cleaned everything up, leaving no detection.
I heard one of them exclaim as they drove out of sight - be careful, stay safe and to all a good night.
