@quietriver Good Morning, and thank you for your thoughtful offering. I'm impressed with your stamina and also with your kindness in explaining what has been your success in treatment. Lots of common sense and also insight into a fuller picture. And, Happy 90th Birthday a month early!
The two falls I referenced had weird circumstances - that is, I wasn't just moving around as in a normal routine. The first time, I had dropped a partial bowl of tomato bisque on the floor and hadn't noticed that a glob of it had landed on the tip of my cane. You can imagine the outcome. The second was an attempt to carry my 16-pound dog along the countertop, using the countertop with my free hand to steady myself, not being able to use my cane and carry my dog as well.
His weight threw my balance off - especially since he was wiggling, and the toe of my right foot caught the heel of the left - and of course I had no extra hand to grab onto anything. You can bet I learned some key lessons from both.
Thank you for your concern - hope you have a wonderful birthday and year ahead!
