Wow, I was so impressed by Joyces response and I love it when I learn something new. That being said, we all live in fear of falling, at least I know I do, and I have taken some epic falls myself. Of course they all hurt and you get up hoping nothing is broken, or that no one has seen you:-) or as in my case once I landed on the grass in front of the funeral home, having missed many piles of dog poop, which as I like to say, is "On the bright side":-) I do walk as much as I can to retain as much balance as possible, sometimes use a walking stick, and like someone else said no quick turns, fast ups and things we know are likely to make us dizzy and off balance. Know your surroundings as much as possible, hang on to a friend, but do keep moving. My husband is convinced I've perfected the tuck and roll method so I guess if we're going to fall it might be best to check out & learn the most non-injurious way. I wish you all the best. Some days my favorite colors are black, blue & green. hugs and love,peg
