Hello, Dr. Watson! LOL Ah, yes, quick turns. They are a problem for me too. I notice it every day first thing in the morning when I go down the path to fetch our morning paper, which is ordinarily lying on the sidewalk. As I reach the end of the, I make a point to come to a full stop, then look both ways (which can require turning my whole body) to be sure there are no joggers or dog-walkers coming fast my way. The unexpected arrival of a jogger or dog-walker is all it takes for me to lose my balance. If someone is coming, I stay where I am so that I can offer a cheery "Good morning!" without falling on my tush. LOL. ––Ray (@ray666)

Sounds reasonable to me. I was standing at my counter today getting some coffee pods. Decided to move over to the sink. As I began to move, my sliders, didn't slide and I began to fall. Fortunately I had a good hold on the sink counter and missed this fall. It could have been bad, because it was on my right side, which has a shoulder replacement. Thank goodness, someone was watching over me. Just another day in the exciting life of seniors.

Hello, balance is my major issue and I don't look forward to moving around,however I manage somehow with the kindness of some friends. I really don't understand why. Yeah, I think I will rejoice in my struggles, and keep moving forward. Thank you 💕 God bless.
