    A few broken bones

    It has now been 11 days (since Aug. 9) since I stumbled, and broke three ribs--one of these, in three different places--and, to add to it, fractured my left knee.

    I say this merely to note that I have, no doubt, gotten to the computer (it is a desktop) less often than in the past. (I am using a walker.)

    Still, I try to get here at least once per day; and sometimes it is more.

    I will continue to stay in touch as often as possible.

    Dang, pjohns, stay off the skateboard!

    Hope things heal quickly, and you are being pampered....

    Take your time. Don't push the healing process, but at the same time, don't get dispirited and allow yourself to get frustrated. We like having you around.

    Stay off the trampoline.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Thank you.

    And yes, my wife--or, as I prefer to refer to her, my Sweetie--has been taking very good care of me. (I try to do for myself all that I can, as I really do not wish to take advantage of her natural inclination to look after me.)

    To be more precise, it was the concrete slab that one's car rolls up against--I really do not know just what it is called--and I simply did not see it; so I stumbled over it.

    It was enormously clumsy of me. But these slabs seem superfluous, anyway. I simply cannot imagine just what useful purpose they might serve.
