Wow lots of scary falls. I fall a lot, our floors and stairs are wood and slippery and I am often in socks. One of my last big falls was going down the stairs in the dark carrying a dirty dinner plate, I fell halfway down and bruised my back and butt bad, I tried to be quite, because my husband was sleeping but started sobbing, I think more from the shock of the fall, so it woke my husband up.
I also slip in the garage A LOT and it pisses me off, my husband did that speckled urethane coating on the floor, I told him to add more sand to keep it from being so slippery when it gets wet but he did not do it everywhere, or put enough on
especially in the center), I am in and out the garage since I garden and even though I am very conscious of that and walk with baby steps I still have real close calls, which hurt because I wrench myself into a weird position to keep myself upright. Each time this happens it starts the fight over again about my husband not listing to
me
My worst was on my front porch I was barefoot before company was coming and was cleaning the window, I jumped up to get a cobweb and came down and rolled over the side of my right foot. I fell down into the garden smack into the middle of an arbovitie. I wound up breaking my foot and it took 6 full months to heal. After 3 months of no healing I had to spend 3 months wearing an electronic bone stimulator to promote bone growth.
I will be going skiing to Park City the first week in March, I will keep my fingers crossed that I will not be adding a story to this thread
