Bet,

Wow! I was so glad to read your e-mail. Recently I walked into a

glass panel next to a door and hit my head really hard. I kept

berating myself for doing such a stupid thing. This happened at a

medical building also!

Instead of saying I'm going around the corner to look for something, I tell my

hubby, I'm just going to " list " my way over there. He knows to look up, look

down, look all around for me when he can't find me cause sometimes I'm on the

floor. LOL

Be well, W
