Hello Fellow FA Artists, Writers, Sculptors, Photographers, Crafters, Costumers and other highly creative people.
On Tuesday, November 22 I tripped on an upraised section of concrete sidewalk and went flying about three feet or more. I landed "Flat like a lizard" with my arms and Left Knee taking the brunt of the impact. Fortunately, there were two construction workers close by who helped me get back on my feet, and I made it back to the house okay. I slept well through the night, but in the morning the pain in my right shoulder was more intense, so Schirm offered to drive me over to Verdugo Hills where my injuries were treated. X-rays showed no signs of broken bones in my Right shoulder, and prescribed Tylenol for the pain. After Five Hours I was released, and both Schirm and Noah helped me get about for the rest of the evening. I was very grateful Noah was there because while trying to retrieve a book, I got wedged in between the bookcase and the bed with nothing to grab onto to help pull me up.
It seems the impact put further stress on the muscles in my Right arm which were badly bruised in the auto collision I was in back about 2021. So, my Right "Predominant" arm suffers considerable pain just below the outer bicep, and it makes typing or drawing quite difficult. I'm afraid I'm going to be a little more "Quiet" than usual until I regain full mobility of my right arm again.
So, on this day of Thanks, I want to thank all of you for your outpouring of kind thoughts and well wishes from my previous journal. I wrote the "Important Lesson Learned" journal during a bad depressive episode, but I felt at the time I had to write something to keep in touch with all of you wonderful friends and fans. Although I'm a bit banged up, I'm still thankful for all of those out there, plus my friends and family who are there for me when I need them.
May this day, and all of your days to follow be filled with the happiness and joy the Holiday Season may bring, and may you enjoy good times with your families and friends though to the coming of the New Year.
Thank you all, and "Peace."

Thank you for all the art you've given the world over the years, and your kindly messages.
My brother (68 y.o.) was carrying a defunct computer monitor up the bulkhead steps out of the basement Saturday afternoon. He misjudged the distance to the ground and took a bad fall. He spent a good part of Monday in the clinic. Same-same only different, no broken bones but a lot of bruised ones including a couple ribs. The doctor paid no attention to his records and prescribed a muscle relaxant proscribed for NSAID-sensitive patients (two aspirin would send him to the ER).
So yeah, bad new for both of you.
