Thanks for the tips on the lens. I will be checking it out. If I do decide to buy another lens, should I stay with the 18-55mm or look at something different? Thanks Ken
18-55mm {or the nearly equivalent 28-80mm for 35mm and FF} is a nice comfortable range, starting in medium wide-angle and ending in medium telephoto.

On vacation about 30 years ago a shoulder strap fitting failed and my Canon A-1 camera and 70-210mm zoom lens fell to the concrete. When I picked it up I found two pieces; my camera had the lens mount still attached but the rest of the lens was a separate piece.
When I got home I went to the repair shop. I put the pieces on the counter and asked "What do you think Allen?" There was a long silence, then he removed his hat and held it over his heart.
I hope you have a better result.

I did find that the base of the 18-55mm lens was cracked and was seperating from the lens housing.
I guess my question is: What would be my best course of action to take care of the lens? Do I send it back to Canon, or an authorized repair facility or just buy another lens?
