I wasn't that concerned about falling until recently. I was taken all necessary precautions and I was walking four or five miles a day with my beagle. I even wore spikes on my boots! Unfortunately, I fell 6 weeks ago and have a Colles fracture of my wrist. They told me it was a very serious injury, it was comminuted and broken in more than three places! I won't go into details, but I had a close reduction in a splint on for 2 weeks, a fiberglass one for 4 weeks now and I'll have a removable cast and a lot of physical therapy for the next 2 months. It can take up to a year to heal. I have a good outlook, this was just a pure accident! No matter what, I'm going to be 72 years old soon, and I will go to physical therapy for my underlying fibromyalgia and SFN in my feet, and to work on my balance soon enough. It's important we all stay in the best shape that we can, and I believe, consult with the proper medical team to address our respective health concerns, and how well we can ambulate, in order to protect ourselves. I feel for you all, I wish you the best!
