I went walking with Don and Jeff on our typical morning walk. Those two are about 6'3" while I am 5'3". If you aren't a human, you might not think a measly little 12 inches is much. In many situations, it isn't a big distance. But, in this case, it makes quite a difference - it is all in the legs. Today, I tried to keep right with those two and I did pretty well. Until I got disoriented and lost my sense of balance. I fell sprawling and smacked my face and knees and heels of my hands on the road bed.
I'm on a blood thinner because I have a pro-clotting factor in my blood and the blood thinner makes it less likely that a blood clot in the heart or brain will do me in. But that thinner means that a cut or a wound needs special help to stop bleeding. That's the white powder on my face. I am thinking of entering this photo in a beauty contest.
