I fell on my head again last night redux

[cyclonefence]

I don't mean that I fell again, but I wanted to make sure I could respond to your wonderful advice (just ordered a Big Alex cane, btw). It's comforting to know that I'm in the right place: I was concerned that I wasn't reading about the terrible things old age is doing to me, and while I'm sorry they're happening to so many of you, too, it's very comforting to me. I am especially awed by those of you who are going through this crap while living alone--my hat is off to you.

I am fine now. I am going to move the bright nightlights we have in our guest bedrooms into our room and the bathroom. I would leave a regular lamp burning there, but there's no place to put it. I've ordered a special cane with a sort of flashlight in its handle to keep upstairs.

We have grab bars all over the place. They don't help much if you can't see them, though.

I love you all. Please stay alive, keep all your marbles, and be able to type at least until I shuffle off this mortal coil. I need you guys.
