DAY #9 HOME ALONE !!!!!

Things have gone pretty well except for one big snafu. Wed. night I was watching TV and I heard a commotion and a crash on our screened porch (which adjoins our fam room with a solid door). So of course I had to see what it was or I should say which kitties created the noise and ensuing problem. I went out on the screen porch and one cat had chased another into a round table, tipped it over and took with it a vase and plant --KOBOOM .:yikes: In peeking over to see how much mess there was, I lost my balance and (yep) fell, hitting another smaller round table on my way down. :oops: Luckily no cuts or brakes but I have a bruised rib which will take a while to heal. I have learned YET another lesson the hart way - never go out on the porch without my cane. I am sore and tired due to pain but have til tomorrow til Jerry comes back. He arrives in Atlanta tonight and spends the night there with his sister. I figure he'll call. I am not goint to tell him what happened til he gets home. I figure he can do with another night with no problems. I almost feel like a schoolgirl ready to get a scoulding than a 65 yr old woman (although immature) who didn't do anything on purpose. A friend of mine came up on Wed and cleaned the littler for me and picked up the broken vase mess. Bless her - She is actually going to glue to back together!! My neighbor is picking up my mail til Jer gets home and I was able to clean the litter today. It's hard finding a comfortable position to sleep but I guess I did okay. I took an early nap yesterday so I could watch U OF A WILDCATS (#12) BEAT UTAH (#5) YEH YEH. His highness :horse: gets home tomorrow around noon so I may miss chat. But all is well and I have taken care of things myself -- thank you very muchy!! :happydance: This is a great venue to vent. I've talked to someone every day so I am not alone ! Leah

Leah, Bless your heart. Did you get to the DR? If not, I hope you do just to make sure everything is ok. Did you have a phone near by so you could call for help? Who got you up or are you able to do that by yourself? That is my problem, when I am down for the count, I have to call 911 as I can't get up by myself. Harley, sometimes, will get in my way and not budge or move, so I try to go around him and I have fallen a few times .. but, now we are good at him getting out of my way. Did your babies come to your side? Harley does that, when I am down for the count, he will bring me his toys like a peace offering, and he won't leave my side. Bless his heart. Our pets are something aren't they? I am keeping you in my prayers. God Bless, Hug,

Jan

P.S. Let us know how things end up ok, please?

Believe In Miracles And SOAR :)
