It’s strange how problems look different once you have several chronic issues. Falling down is a big deal when your health goes south. Just getting up may require my husband’s help.
I want to encourage people to be honest with themselves when it comes to mobility. Mobility issues can change daily and we have to assess each day.
This painful rash and bruise is from falling while playing with dogs. I reached for the toy and went straight down. It’s a small thing until it’s a Big Problem, concussion, or injury that needs attention like when I fell halfway downstairs and broke my wrist.
I met my new PCP yesterday and she pressured me to use an aid in the house, which is nothing new to hear. I still haven’t faced the music and still will not use one. The day will come when I will need an aid. :(
At 60, there are many days I feel like I’m falling apart but I have to stay focused on the next day and stay positive about tomorrow. :)

I can understand your resistance to using an aid, and would think, I’ll be more careful. But I’ve seen some cool looking canes and think of a walking stick or staff like Gandalf has in the Lord of the Rings. That’s what I’m going for if I even need an aid. I hope your ouch heals well and quickly.

Oh no! Take care of yourself. I can fully relate to not always being honest with myself about what I’m capable of. It’s a tough balance.
