One set of problems taken care of....

Monday, October 17, 2011
then I fall on my face....


not just once, but .....


TWICE!!!!!!!

Fall #1
Last Tuesday evening, I was heading down the stairs from our bedroom to the kitchen. I was daydreaming about nothing in particular, but it was enough to allow me to miss the bottom stair....



Fall #2
Then, a week ago, I went to the movies and saw a really good indie-movie called, "Higher Ground."
and I came out of the theater, once again not concentrating on my walking, and I tripped over the door frame and...you guessed it...landed on my face!



The really frustrating part of all of this, is that no one came to help. I couldn't get off the concrete because my legs were so unsteady. My face was bleeding into my eyes. After I finally was able to pull myself up, I had to find my car. Again, no one came to help. In all honesty, I'm kind of glad that no one came to help me because I was looking pretty scary.

Anyway, that's why I've been absent from the blogging world yet again.

Thanks for reading.
Annette

Dear dear Annette, how you must be hurting! It is a shock to see how you really banged up your face. I wish there was some way you could keep from falling. You hit your head at home not to long ago. But of course you know that. Well, you are ready for Halloween. Take Care of yourself. I am praying for you.

Dear Mrs Markin,

I think this is a cheap trick to get a facelift.

Yours,

I haven't been on your blog the past month until today and just read about your falls. You must have really scared your family. I hope you're healing well and feeling better. Take care!
