Chrissie, I'm so happy that you are posting again - I hope that means you are feeling some better? Boy, did I ever miss your cheerful posts!
Don't worry too much about stubbing you head on things - my hubby does it all the time and he never seems to learn! (maybe it's from always knocking his head on things) LOL And I believe that people put too much stock in coordination skills...I've stumbled my way though life this far, no harm done, - or maybe there is and I just don't know??!
I'm glad that you had Pete to take care of you - but I'm surprised he let you attempt carwheels! I suppose that angel enticed you into that...hmmm...we haven't heard much about that slippery little angel lately. She's been somewhat subdued ever since that bathtub incident.
Chrissie, I'm so happy to know that you are through your surgery, and on the road to healing. Please don't overdo things, and take those pain meds as needed. I hope you feel better than new very soon.
Hugs,
