1 It was the 9th of January, a day I will remember for along time. It was a normal Sunday morning around 8:30 am,right on time for Sammy’s morning walk. I didn’t walk becauseof my lameness, so I rode in my power wheelchair. We got outthe door and made our way towards a property near my apartmentcomplex. We got to the gate and out of the complex, andwe went left onto the extra wide sidewalk. It was about a mile’swalk one way, passing a firehouse on the right side of the road,before we turned around and started back.
2 Along the path we took was a large plate over the sidewalk. I passed over it the firsttime without any problems. My wheelchair could reach up to 8 miles per hour, but we wenta little slower on our walks, around 2 miles per hour, so Sammy could keep up. Even so,this speed was pretty fast for a 15yearolddog.
3 As we turned around and made our way back, I passed over the sidewalk plate againexcept that this time it was moved without me realizing it, putting my wheelchair in thegrass on the embankment (路堤). The next thing I knew, my wheelchair started to tip over,throwing me out of the chair and rolling down the embankment into the muddy water below.
4 My right leg was hurt, and I was unable to pull myself upright. I was too weak togather my strength to call for help. The muddy water was cold and I felt it hard to breathewith my body folded and twisted in a strange position. Meanwhile, Sammy was sitting up onthe sidewalk with his leash (链条) caught under the tipped over wheelchair. I heard him barking louder than ever heard. He knew that I was hurt and was in danger.
5 By the way my wheelchair tipped over, a passerbyon the street would not be able tosee it from the road. All anyone could see was a dog barking on the sidewalk almost nightacross the street near the firehouse.
