    Seriously, when you've healed up a bit, you should do this every day:

    If you fill your house with marshmallows about 2 ft deep, you'll not be hurt if you fall, and also you'll have something to snack on while you are down there.

    Sorry Lanny! Hope you heal up quick!
    Do you use a scooter? My 98 year old mother in-law goes all over with one.

    Just stating what I am sure many know (or maybe not), but falling isn’t just about the actual fall. If you fall and god forbid break a hip, the mortality rate for people over just 50(!) is 1/3 within 12 months. The increased mortality rate can last for over a decade. The series of physical and mental events after a broken him for older people is significant.
    Do. Not. Fall.

    I'm thinking that someday I'm gonna break bones. I did so much fitness exercise up until my early 50s that I made my bones very very strong. Someday, their gonna weaken and then I'll be sorry.
    I've told my primary care provider about all my falls and near falls except this one and I'll tell my dialysis nurses tomorrow at my next appointment.

    If you can't get back up, then I think you need to revisit the idea of not being old :)

    You might consider getting the new Apple Watch. Has sensors for all aspects of health, but most importantly it knows when you have fallen and calls 911 for you, or contacts your emergency contact immediately.
