Emergency

I was out working in the yard yesterday.  I could hear all kinds of sirens and it sounded as though they were at Pelican Shores South Lake next to our lake.  The sirens didn't stop and got louder and louder until suddenly they were driving past our house to the lot next door where a new house is being built.

I walked over to find out what was going on and apparently one of the sheet rock workers had fallen one story and been knocked unconscious.  He had been able to get up and walk out to his truck where he remained until the emergency personnel arrived.  A collar was immediately put on his neck.

He was able to carefully climb out of the truck to the stretcher where he was then asked more questions, his back was checked, and then he was strapped to the stretcher.  Pretty scary.



Our front gate was broken and today was the first day that it had actually been closed in months.  Sadly, the emergency personnel had a hard time getting in and finally our HOA president, Steve Harbert, went down to help them out.  We will be getting a box installed that allows them to get access to our neighborhood with a special key and code.
