Check that everyone else in the house is accounted for...I woke up with dried blood on my hands but no visible cuts, should I be worried...?

Or ears....thats happened to me before....Check to see if your nose has bled a little?
Good luck fathoming it out @GlamThis afternoon I was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. I bought a new phone. It's a Galaxy A23 5G. Right now I have no idea what the doodah is, except I have unlimited calls and texts. It's in Black, I was after the nice Blue, but the O2 shop in town didn't have that in stock.
I feel like having a right little girls tantrum, not only did it take me well over an hour to type all my contacts in, it also means that my well loved Nokia 215 is giving up the ghost and is dying on me. Bloke in O2 even laughed at me when I said I couldn't trade it in online because it wasn't recognised. Cheeky git.
It does mean however, the youngest is well pissed off with me, he's having to come and show me stuff all the time. Just had him doing the ringtone. I've gone from the Joe 90 theme (old phone), to Blondie.
I'm still waiting for the number to change over, so can't use it yet. That will be fun. Luckily I've put all the photos of the cats onto the pc (with help) so they're safe.

Since moving to Worcester I do son's gardening , he continues to help with the phone and laptop. Not so frustrating for him now being close to do it for me , rather than tearing his hair out over the phone (especially with my tech language of " is that the squiggly thing? " etcDo spare a thought for us children of parents (and grandparents!) who get smartphones and tablets, we end up being unpaid tech support for several hours a week!
I am almost 52. My head feels young. My body doesn't. Theoretically I am older than one of the golden girls in the first episode. I have days where I look at famous people from my younger years and I feel younger than they were then. I am deluded.I just realised I am 3 years older than Alan Shearer was when he retired which is mad because when I think of Alan Shearer the player he still seems about 20 years older than me!
I'm 60 next year, not 59 yet though. I don't know what happened, but the life appears to have been sucked out of me over the last few years.I am almost 52. My head feels young. My body doesn't.

Alive & well in Portland (updates on fb today)Panic over....I got at least some kind of reply** on WhatsApp....'Thanks mum'.
*he's terrible at replying to anything, I have more conversations with his girlfriend, they're driving across america, Seattle to Portland (i think) & staying in hostels & extended family.
Thanks for the thoughts everyone!
** to him,.... are you both OK, where are you now, where are you going to next, ive sent messages on others apps to make sure youre ok, happy birthday......etc etc etc.....he's 30 & an adult and apparently badly brought up!

it's like my day at work....there are so many Geordies & north Easteners living here it's unbelievable....they all know where I'm from, my family and the area I grew up in...its sooo strange...like there was a mass exodus from the northeast to stafford....not sure why...Whilst waiting in a 2+ hour queue for my flu jab (which turned out to unintentially get Moderna whacked in the same time) I commented to the really old lady next to me that it was a much slicker operation in the Stafford vaccination centres where I used to live until recently.
Turns out she used to live in Doxey and Walton on the hill in her younger days. Didn't know Wildwood (estate didn't exist when I was growing up either) but knew Baswich. She was amazed that Universal, Lotus, GEC etc had all been raised to the ground . Had a good old chat with her and another couple in the queue by me , so it passed the time away a bit better.
