SO HERE I am, writing in bed. I got an ice pack on my knees, which look like they been through a meat grinder. The little finger on my right hand is swollen up to the size of a broom handle and I can barely bend my wrist. The palms of my hands are scraped up and pocked with gravel. My tongue feels like those cow tongues you see at the butcher shop, my one ankle is big as a tree stump, and my neck is so sore I can’t turn my head. The icing on the cake is my chin, which is scraped raw. It keeps bleeding down the front of my nightgown like I tore up a live rabbit and ate it for dinner.

I’ll tell you again, it’s no joke to fall down at my age.

My first thought was to load up on pills and drift off to never-never land, but I wrestled with myself and fought off the urge. I did! All I took was a couple of aspirin; now I feel like there’s a halo floating over my head while I sit here in bed. I can’t believe I didn’t snap my wrist or break a leg, and even though I feel like a truck ran over me, backed up, and did it again for good measure, I’m lucky. I could have ended up in B Wing, locked up in bedlam with those lunatics and half-deads. As it is, I’m still walking, still got my wits about me, and still making plans to get out of here.
