The Fates are havin’ a Laff

My little misfortunes continue. A little over a month ago, only 30 feet from my front door, I had a fall. At first, I thought no great damage was done. Then I found my brand new glasses were destroyed. My neighbours came over and gave me a hand to sit up and they called an ambulance. I was wondering why and they explained that I was bleeding heavily from under my left eye. It appears when I went over, I face planted and must have skidded along. I had several abrasions on my face and a small gash under the eye. Within a few minutes I was being treated and then had my first ride in ambulance. Luckily I live near the hospital and was soon cleaned up. Being so close to my eye, the gash was glued closed and then I had a CT scan. I was home in a few hours and had a big mug of tea and a biscuit! Had the CT results last week and all good. I had only gotten my new glasses six days earlier and was upset about that. I also had a ticket for an exhibition at Marble Arch, the next day, so was none too happy about that! To say I have been feeling sorry for myself is an understatement and it was a couple of weeks before I went out again, beyond my street. Still taking things easy and beginning to walk further each day. After some four weeks of minimal activity, I need to get walking again as well get back into writing and taking photos. Also, I have not done any watercolour painting. Since I am still an awful artist, that last isn’t the end of the world!
