Thank you Barb! @bjk3, I had the stitches removed Monday and it seems to be healing fairly nice so far. Still have the bruise around the eye but it slowly getting lighter 🙃 No excuses for me for this fall. It was early in the morning and I think I just got a little careless. Usually I walk pretty slow in the house and pay attention to what's around me. I think the cat has me trained so I'm always watching so that I don't step on her.

Computers can be a pain. Most folks don't pay attention to the system updates and they can get behind and then you can start having problems. You need to find a senior computer nerd and have them take a look at it.

Good morning, John. I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. I smiled when I read what you said about your cat being a helper to walking safely rather than, as most people say, a hazard. My cat is a helper, too. He's very cautious as I go about, probably because (as you say) he doesn't want to get stepped on; I amuse myself to think my cat is looking up at me as I wobble about, thinking, "Uh-oh, Ray's got balance 'issues.' I'd better not dash between his feet." // Take great care, John! –Ray

@johnbishop Sorry to hear about your fall, John. I took a tumble back in October while pumping gas at a station. Bummed up my right ankle and leg, and had to wear a boot for 3 weeks, but thankfully nothing broken. Glad to hear you had no serious injuries from the fall. But it's always disconcerting to fall and wind up with bruises. Sounds like you look like you might have been in a bar fight! Hope the eye will soon be completely healed. Take care and keep warm!!
