How do you feel about falling?

That is exactly why we are downsizing and moving to a little place with no stairs. Or can you move your sleeping area to the first floor? Do you have osteoporosis? I am close to 76 now. Fell down and broke my shoulder 2 years ago the doc told me pets, stairs, throw rugs and electric cords were the greatest risks. Do you have one of those bracelets/necklaces with a notification button if you fall. Make sure you are exercising and building strength. Take care.

@gravity3 Great ideas and suggestions. I think that eventually I will wish for a first floor bedroom, but that's not in the cards for now. So, I try to be cautious, make multiple trips rather than carrying too much, one hand on the rail, and one on the wall when possible.
