    Happy Happy Happy day after Christmas.
    I realize that I am a member of this Chat and that I should write more often than once or year or so but by the time I have read the board I and get to answers to write I can't remember and anything I do remember seems so worthless. Let me do a brief run down on worthwhile happenings of the last 6 months of my life!
    In July a new clinic of doctors came to town with the most attention to Senior Citizens. I joined them as I was discouraged with my current doctot I only went once a year for an exam and prescriptions for high pressure. and they didn't seem really interested in seeing me anyway. I don't look sick or feel/act sick but I at least like to feel as if they are interested. Anyway I joined this new group and since July I have had more tests to see how my insides are working and met more doctors and nurses than I have in the last ten years. I must look as good as I feel (which is wonderful) because people are still floored that I am 78 as I am taken for10 to 20 years younger.
    I had been to doctor's office to fill out forms and sign papers for office to send to Insurance, they were having a small problem who did what and what was to be sent and how. I signed a paper giving the permission to act for me with insurance and went home. Got a call saying assistant had been on phone with insurance who told her that I did not need to sign the papers, just as she shedded the signed document the insurance person realized that was a mistake I not only needed to sign the paper but needed to verify that I understood and signed. If I would do this that same afternoon she would immediately fax. Assistant would be happy to run papers over to me so we could get it out of the way quickly but I refused and said I still had my keys in my hand I would be right over. Delivered the signature etc and left to return home as I crossed the parking lot at the rear of the building. My feet and the parking lot cement decided to join while my body kept going . My face/forehead meet with step-up that divides one row from another. My glasses slide down my nose and ended up with the nose piece lodge between two teeth. (makes yelling for help difficult) Couldn't get up as I had landed on my left knee hard enough that I couldn't bend it to get myself up and had nothing to hold on to to pull myself up or I would got up and taken my bloody face and knees on home. At that time it was one empty parking lot both of cars and people. That was one expensive afternoon as someone finally came by and helped me. I was taken by ambulance to hospital where the glasses were removed and x-rays and tests taken. No one thought to clean up my face until my daughter got there and she cleaned me up with wet paper towels. She told me never do that again as she woke up answered the phone to a voice saying. We have your mother in the hospital room, she's ok but she fell and hit her head. She said you would need to come get her as her cars is in the parking lot behind the doctors office. The funny thing is they told her I was ok and normal, NEVER was normal in my life. And that was the most exciting day in the last 6 months?
    Now you see why I come in and read this chat almost every day but I don't have anything but the weather to write about!
    Have a good day everyone see you later.
