That sounds about right. Imagine that many people would want to hang onto notes with the queen's picture rather than exchange them for new ones.

BTW, apropos your instruction to rest...I mind well, don't I? :ROFLMAO:

Morning friends....this morning, and for next couple days I
am recovering from a lousy wednesday....I fixed supper and
ate it, was retuning a dish of leftover to fridge, when I dropped it and the beef/gravy went all over floor and on bottom of
cabinets...da*,m it all, so I got down on floor to clean up and
then of course could NOT get back up, d##mn it again, I crawled all over the house trying to find somewhere I could pull up, but finally gave in and pressed my emergency wrist button,
first time I've used it, so the firemen got here in about 15 mins, and lifted me back up...embarassing as hell...and now I am very painfull today...ah well, got a good heating pad, and may take a pain pill also...gettin old and decrepit is hard...🥺

Unless there is broken glass, I don't worry, my little herd of dogs will come in and happily clean up the mess. They can hear if I just drop a potato chip and come running. The big one can get to the cabinets. When they are done it is simple to get a mop and rag with bleach, to mop the floor and wipe down the cabinets.

GG..I don't walk with a Cane.. I am lucky I can walk very normally still.. but because I had serious back issues some years ago which meant I couldn't stand at all.. my lower back wouldn't take the weight of my Torso.. I had to have a can to literally pull me up from a sitting position. I occasionally need it now.. and I keep one near my bed just in case..

The I got ''wear and tear '' in my right knee.. had all sorts of physio on it, nothing has fixed it, it's just got progressively worse.. .. so occasionally it will give out on me.. and I rarely ever kneel down for that reason.

Going back to when I first got a can.. at the time I thought it would be a good idea to get a couple more..one for in the car in case I had a problem there, and one for somewhere else in the house.. and that;s what I did.

So.. I have one in my bedroom.. I have one tucked out of site in the Foyer.. .. and I have one in the top hall.. so there was no excuse for me not to take a cane with me the other day. However I just didn't feel I was going to be in trouble.. just bending down to take the meter reading... until I was..:rolleyes::rolleyes:.. so my reason for posting this long winded reply is to say.. if anyone has a problem with getting up from a sitting or kneeling position for whatever reason.. get yourself a couple of canes, and dot them around the house.. and use them..

I have learned if I get down to always have a plan in place to get up. There is nothing worse that being stuck on the floor trying to figure it out. I have many foldable stools that tuck away. walkers, chairs, I can move around to an area that does not have a cabinet or counter top.

the problem is .. when you get stuck, and you're suffering pain.. the pain clouds your judgement as to how to work out how to get out of the situation
 
I've seen foldable kneeling pads for the garden that have...handles? legs?...and think I'm gonna ask Santa to bring me one along with a pair of red Wellies. I've been a very pretty good girl and hardly ever tell a lie don't tell lies very often.

Now that I think about it, why would a kneeler like that be only for use in a garden? It might be helpful around The Hovel as well.

There are a few different types of canes, that remain standing on their own, which are much more helpful than the ones that can't do that.:rolleyes: When an ordinary one falls to the floor or ground, there's no way to pick it up without very risky results!:sneaky:

I have those Canes..they're called Hurricane's... you can also get them with a handy light in the handle. Also if a Hurricane ( cane).. falls on the floor, you can simply step on the foot of the cane and it will bounce back up.. no more bending

Okay, then. I looked up garden kneelers on amazon and sent a link to Santa.

Then I looked up Wellingtons on amazon. I didn't send Santa a link because they are sort of like making a mortgage payment. I'll just save up my own $$ and get a pair. Red, I think. Yeah. Red. Shiny red.

I use those kneelers in the house as well!!
