If you still have our contact info, don’t hesitate to call us in the event of another accident like this. If you don’t have our numbers, FReepmail me and I will give you both. Carol was very saddened tonight when she heard what happened and you were alone needing help. We can at least bring you some food or run to Walgreens for you. If you ever eat any of Carol’s cooking, you will want to move in over here! I could have gotten the walker from the storage room for you.
When I was young and single, I got one of those asian flu that was so bad. I lay in bed for 2 weeks after going to the dr, too sick and weak to eat or drink. I did not yet have insurance and needed to be in the hospital. I was severely weakened for a month afterward. My point is, I know what it is like to be alone and knocked off your feet. We can help.
The week before the fall, the engineer was here and there is a portion of my stairs where it turns to go up the last five stairs and there is no rail at that turn or up those last five stairs. He is always sure I'm going to fall down the stairs, so he put white hand holds like you see in a bathroom, where the rail stops so there are hand holds from there and up those stairs. There are five of those hand holds. After the fall, those hand holds were very important because I couldn't put my whole weight on that foot and the hand holds made me very steady to get up those stairs and down those stairs there.
Of course, he had a fit when he found out I fell. Now, he wants the whole area where I walk outside surgically clean, and kept insisting I go to the doctor. He is a real pain, the most exact engineer I have ever met, everything must be exact.
I would bet my husband, Bill, has touched every life on this forum. Have you ever eaten a Pringle potato chip? The chips in the tube? Husband Bill was an engineer and he developed the process to make all the chips the same shape so they would fit in the tube. Say, “Thank you, Bill”, every time you eat Pringles potato chips.
Bill also touches every voter in Texas at every election. He wrote the bill that became law when our Texas Legislature passed that bill and it determines who is in your central counting station and how your votes are counted in every county in Texas on election night. You can say, “Thank you, Bill” for your votes getting counted fairly on election night.
