How do you feel about falling?

Marilyn,
I also had a total hip replacement- last June. It went fine, recovery fine, but I have this fear of falling. The PT says that I am “scared walking.” I watch the ground, walk slowly, and generally just move very tentatively.

Yes, exactly. I don't know about you, but my surgeon has already seen me twice. The last time he said I will see you in two years. As I am already 89, who know if I will be around then? But, yes, I am scared walking outside. If you fall, concrete is unforgiving. I walk slowly and use a cane.
