In the fall of 2012, two jobs that Casey and I had were at Maple Avenue Middle School in Saratoga Springs and Lake Avenue Elementary School in Saratoga Springs. We usually worked at Maple Avenue from 9am.-10am. on Mondays. The floors at Maple Avenue, both in the hallways and in the classrooms, are highly polished. Therein lies the basis of this post.
Casey and I always split our time at Maple Avenue between two classrooms. On this day in mid-November, we finished work in one classroom and got up to go to the 2nd classroom. As soon as we reached the hallway, all four of Casey's feet went out from under her and she was laying spreadeagled on the floor.
Now comes the scary part. Casey was unable to get up. We honestly didn't know what to do. Fortunately, one of the teachers got a flatbed cart. Another teacher donated her coat. Several people got together, put the coat under Casey, and lifted her onto the cart. She was then wheeled into the 2nd classroom and did her work as usual. She got the"royal treatment," as when she was done in te 2nd classroom, she was placed on the cart and wheeled out to the waiing taxi.
