SAFETY TIP: DON'T LEAVE SUITCASE OUT





Holly Cow what is this one all about? V.W. Resident thought he read every safety tip ever written, but not this one: Put it out of the way!!!

It seems The Lady put the suitcase "out of the way" intending to put it in the car "tomorrow" to go to Disney. Sounds "safe" to me. She is usually very careful and a "pro" when it comes to being safe. So what happened?

Truth be told the burglar alarm went off, because the motion detector was not disabled. One false move is what it took. She jumped to check out the sliding door in bedroom, tripped over the "safely stored" suitcase and cracked her shoulder like a hard boiled egg - shattered.

The team at Brinks was on the job and offered to call for medical help, but it was refused. The car was the fastest route to the emergency room. The treatment there was great, as was the follow up the next day. Best of all the doctor said it was "OK" to go to Disney, but stay off the bumpy rides, and "Don't go near the suitcase."

Thank God Disney had a flower festival going on. She managed to get a couple of nice pictures for the gang.
