Earlier this week I took a very bad fall by my front door going out. To the immediate left is a set of bifold doors into a very small dining room. I went down, knocked over a plant stand, fell into the doors, knocked one door off its guide and landed hard on several body points that now are a few lovely colors. The joints affected are sore, my wrists/
hands are bunged up and my upper back and shoulders are so stiff and sore it's hard to turn, I'm OK just banged up and feel like I've been hit by a load of 2x4's.
You should talk to your doctor about this falling down situation. It seems to be happening kind of frequently. 
Hilda_Static: Apparently there is an issue with a disc in my neck that is affecting my balance and creating clumsiness at times. It's the now the next operation on tap. 
I was hoping it would "clear up" but I've become a walking definition of off balance.

ToriLok: yes, i've dragged mine out just in case. My neck is killing me after this fall but I see the doc in a few weeks anyway for a follow up on my back.
I think you should start using the cane now, even around the house, until you resolve the issue. Do you have a pretty cane?
not really but the one i have can be bedazzled! Hilda_Static: and yes I dragged it oud.
Bedazzle away! And then show us a picture.
Oh ugh, Dede. Keep the cane handy for balance and to whack any pesky young whippersnappers who get out of line. Hell, use it on older ones too.
SuzeKavanagh: FUN~~
