I would like to thank everyone for their concerns and phone calls the next day asking about my poor head as I banged it a good one when a chair collapsed for me during the refreshment time after the shower. I’m fine but I didn’t know there were so many places to hurt. Must be a sign of old age. Nooooooo!
