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.

Hi, Gina5009 ~ I can't even count the number of times this has happened to me, either in the kitchen or in the bathroom, the only two rooms not carpeted. I really have to concentrate on picking my feet up on the "bare" floors where I used to be able to slide as you had expected to do, and especially when turning as @ ray@666 mentioned. It's frustrating to have to remember this changed way of moving about. I thank God that my downsized home is small enough that if I lose my bearings there is a wall or furniture to land against. I am counting my blessings every day that I am still living independently and able to take care of myself! 😊
