Hi Sue:

No, Alan has not fallen on his spleen. I read on the internet that when people have very severe low platelet disorders, they remove the spleen.

That (at least I hope), that this is NOT what is going on with Alan.

He doesn't fall because he rarely goes anywhere without me. And because he really can't be on his feet, the only places he goes are to doctor appointments. Then he comes home and stays on the couch. Where I serve him. Isn't he a lucky man? I just gave him some fresh blackberries and some cantelope.

I'm glad you are feeling better.
