I had knee replacement surgery last Fall and wasn’t very mobile in the beginning. One day, the pencil went flying off the tablet but I could NOT find it anywhere. Couldn’t get on my hands and knees but did search the best I could.

Friends came at Christmas and I asked them to see if they could find it. They searched all over and finally put up the foot rests of my sofa and, with the help of a flashlight, found it stuck to one of metal frame posts. It must have hit the wall and bounced under it. /
