Great advise for everyone regardless of age and weather.

My grandma fell in her garage this past October. She broke her leg pretty badly. Luckily the weather was nice and she was able to drag herself out to her driveway. It wasn't too long before a man drove by and saw her. He stopped and called 911. He stayed with her until the ambulance arrived. She was lucky everything turned out so well, it could have been a lot worse.

Last Valentines day, my husband, who was 28 at the time, had been working in the barn. He came in the house, took his boots off and then realized he didn't close the barn door. He tossed his flip flops on and ran out there to close it. It's a big, heavy, metal door and he accidentally shut it on his foot. It sliced through he toes. He didn't have his phone and he couldn't get the door off his toes. He ended up ripping his foot out from under the door, causing more damage to his toes. He then had to drag himself to the house (he couldn't walk). I drove him to the emergency room. Had he had his phone I could have help get the door off his foot and the damage to his toes wouldn't have been nearly as bad.
