Thank you Beatrice for making me aware of something that I was only subliminally aware of - healing more slowly. Although I had heard about that....of course it didn't apply to me! 🙂 But hearing that from a peer makes it register! It is helpful to be crystal clear about that! I had a fall on April ! which resulted in a fractured wrist/arm. And since then, I try never to take my eyes off of the terrain I am walking on. I guess the fall was like a "shake awake" to the realities of my "elderliness"! - at age 81

I had a fall a few years ago, also because I was looking around at the scenery, instead of the sidewalk which had a rise. Down I went. Fortunately nothing broken but lots of blood from a cut. Now I look down when I walk. A small price to pay for safety.

@beatricefay Hi Im Linda and never thought about falling . But yes now I do The other night I passed out and fell hurt my lower half ,haha Since then I am more careful and can,t walk for long distance without a walker as my lower back is not as good as it use to be . To much working on my feet at nursing didn't help I have found I have to move slower which I'm not use to but am learning I need to do this . As someone said old age isn't for sissies
