Things happen in cycles around here.
I exercise to try to stay reasonably strong and as healthy as I can be, though I do it grudgingly. I have a “life alert” type medallion that we got along with our security system for the house. It only works within so many feet of the house, I think. I forget to wear it. :0) I am careful when I’m doing something I know is ‘above my pay grade’ physically – like when I decided the other day to NOT try to balance on the rickity ladder on a slope in the gravel at the bottom of the driveway while trying to freshen the paint on the greeter robot.
I haven’t fallen on my head or tripped lately. I’m due. Knowing this, I’m trying to plan better, to TRY to remember if I’m working outside to find and put on the medallion necklace, etc., but it will happen sooner or later…

That reminds me when, some years back on a snowy day in March and one week before an important trip, I decided to go down the slope from the back of the house to put corn for the ducks (they always come around during the winter) . . . wearing slippers! Yes, you guessed it . . . I slipped and fell on the snow! It’s a miracle I didn’t break something, lol! Of course, I was alone at home, didn’t have my cell phone with me and couldn’t get up because, duh, wet snow is very slippery . . . so, I did the best possible thing: I just crawled all the way to the back stairs (the longest 10 minutes ever) and held to the handrail to get up. 😁

That sounds really familiar, Susy. If I don’t lose my footing and fall by myself, my dog, Amber, helps me, running right into me and knocking me flat.

It’s a good thing I don’t let my cats out, otherwise they would probably be as helpful as Amber, lol! 😸
