I fell while walking my small dog on Dec 1 2022. Had wrist surgery with a
plate and screws to correct. I am now terrified to walk outside! Do you
get depressed often?

No, but I have definitely learned how to do the senior shuffle when walking outside, especially when it's icy.

I am also terrified to walk on uneven ground. I will only walk on flat sidewalks or roads now. I am early in my journey so not yet depressed. Not much pain either...yet. I use orthodics which do help and there are these slippers out there for all of you. They are called pillow slippers. They are great around the house and even for walking short distances.
