Dec. 20th, 2013 12:33 amThis evening I had a bit of extra excitement than was initially planned for by mine and M's trip to the cinema. We came out of the front door of my building and glanced down and saw a pair of shoes lying next to the bushes. We both thought that was odd, then noticed that there were some legs attached to the shoes and an unconscious body attached to the legs!
A man was lying in the bushes and not moving and not responding and his hands were all clammy and cold. We couldn't see his face because that was right in the middle of the plants. We were a bit freaked out so I called an ambulance. The operator kept asking if I could see if he was breathing or had a pulse so I tried to move the bushes away to see his face. I have never been so relieved to be freaked out by a sudden movement! He woke up and said he was ok, but he didn't look or sound very ok.
Then the ambulance arrived and the medics lifted him out of the bushes and discovered he was just very very drunk. Apparently he lives two floors above me and just didn't quite make it into the building. We also found some takeaway he'd dropped, and M said he'd seen it by the door when he came in three or so hours ago, but he hadn't noticed the man then. It was no wonder he was so cold if he'd been lying there for three hours already!
I was glad we'd seen him when we did, I don't know if he'd have woken up or survived the night otherwise. Its at freezing and also raining at the moment, not good weather to be lying outside in.
