I try not write too much for you to have to read. I am so sorry about your fall. Iknow it hurts. and yes it is good to fall instead of breaking ankles like I do, but not down the stairs. lol sry. I am so thankful that your friend brought you sussies as they call it here in Loouisiana Lagniappe. something extra! I have done it often and I know that several people had the same thought as I about wishing we were there to help. but I have been living offf of same 5 dollars for a week now. lol keep dreaming w/ me karen you are my staff!

- I don't mean to sound dramatic but does this mean (shock!horror!) that you don't have a hand-rail support leading up your stairs.Surely, I hope, you wouldn't lose your balance with something to grip asyou ascended or descended the stairs. Oh, you must have a hand-railinstalled as soon as possible. Like...TOMORROW! !! It is wonderful tohave a friend to help you go shopping. But so sorry about the pain youare in and that you fell and hurt your finger so badly. Healing and loveto you and thanks for the welcome in to 2010. Take care.Love & hugsCarlene>> Hi all; I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve and New Year'sDay and didn't have any drinking regrets this a.m.,

lol.>> Woke this morning hurting pretty badly and my friend offered to takeme to the store to pick up additional things my son needs for his goingaway to school on Tues., so I took advantage of her generosity. Whenshe came to pick me up she had a huge care package for my son fromeverything you can think of. That was totally unexpected and am verygreatful for a wonderful friend that I have in her.>> I could only go to one store, I was in so much pain, didn't have mypain meds with me, so she brought me home. I've fallen a few times thisafternoon and evening and have gotten hurt each time; I'm now lying lowin bed. I fell on the stairs, into my sons care packages and hit myvery painful ankle on the corner of a container and, when falling almosttook my pinky finger off at the joint, it hurt so badly and for so long.It's still hurts but not near as bad as it did. when I look bad I

canonly imagine how it looks to Mark when he sees me falling. I've beentold to just let myself fall since it's worse when trying to stop myselfbecause of my body pain as it is, but it's instinct to not allowyourself to fall or try to stop yourself.>> Although I try to always see the bright side of things, it does gethard and is very trying when I have days like today and I will say it'svery scary when you know you're falling on the stairs and you can't stopyourself, but I'm okay and got through all of that. I can't blame it onmy meds because it still happens when I haven't take them either.>> Although my day was painful, it was almost comical on what kepthappening today, almost like a Three Stooges skit, only I was all ofthem. I have to try to find humor in it because it was so painful, thatI'm trying to laugh through things, since crying is just so easy andcomes

often.>> With love to you all and welcome to 2010! R./FL>
