I hurt my shoulder helping a elderly woman not take a bad fall on the subway. She had a rolling suitcase and was sitting down as the train took off, and it will knock you off your feet if you are not ready for it. Her and the suitcase went flying, it would have been a hip breaker. I grabbed her arm and the suitcase because it was pulling her down as it rolled away. My left shoulder got a good yank and it hurts. Thank goodness the woman was fine. Because that would have ruined my commute waiting for EMS on the train! LOL.

What a kind, compassionate soul you are Ziggy! (We at Wonkette already know this, and now the folks on the subway car got to experience it.) I hope your shoulder heals well and that the elderly lady got to her destination intact.

You're seriously a hero! That could have had deadly consequences for her. I hope your shoulder feels better soon!

You are a good person.

The few times I been in NYC and rode the subway, I never had a problem.

Good people. Once to Brooklyn a lady could not believe I lived in So Cal and never went to

the Price is Right, no live taping of shows, or even Johnny Carson. And movie stars do not walk up and down Hollywood Blvd like tourists. Only a few blocks are glittery and the rest is just like any So Cal city. Her husband told her to quit bugging me, but it was ok. I felt sorry for him

actually.

Do you have something you can ice down with after you’ve soaked it in a good hot shower or bath there might be some bruising coming up. Take care of yourself. I’m glad you were there to save her from falling.

Good for you, you are an angel. I just had an elderly friend take a fall that didn’t seem that bad but boy howdy are you fragile in your late 90’s. Sadly, not going to make 100 as we had all predicted but passed away in a relatively quick 2 weeks. PSA: Help those old folks you might want to be one some day. Ziggy is a champ as simple falls can be devastating.

NSAID, hot shower, then some cold compress treatment.

And well done, Ziggy.

Oh no! I hope your shoulder's okay, but the poor woman, I'd have been mortified. :c That's a scary situation, and I'm glad you did the right thing. :)
