OUCH: Good folks help ease the pain

If you ever have an accident, Coeur d’Alene is the place to be!

I recently had a very nasty accident right downtown, and help was all around me. A very nice young man picked me up and saw that I was seated and had other assistance before he left. Then, the sweet young lady in the restaurant kept me supplied with damp cloths to wipe up the blood and saw that my car got home. The very efficient EMTs saw that I got the medical treatment I needed at the ER. Best of all, my dear friend Dawn stayed right beside me through the whole ordeal and saw that I got home safely. She was THERE, and a real comfort.

Now I’m well on my way to normal, and it’s thanks to the good people who cared enough to help me, a stranger, through a bad time. My since appreciation to all those wonderful Coeur d’Alene people who were so generous with their help.
