Todays PD subject will be  Falling....
up, down, sideways, backwards, and forwards.
I have fallen numerous times during my PD career, each fall slightly different from the previous one SO even though I try NOT to repeat the latest mishaps, I fall. 
I have fallen inside the house, (stairs and steps).
I fell in my classroom (tripped over a kid who was sitting on the floor).
Lots of tumbles in the backyard wooded areas as well as  the grass lawns.
I have 5 walkers, 4 canes, a wheelchair , 4 walking sticks, a knee walker, sturdy hiking boots, and 3 grabbers. Hand rails on stairways in the house. Enough gear to climb The Rockies or maybe Sugarloaf Mt.
I have fallen standing still.

So what do I do about falling ? Be aware, think ahead OR don't go anywhere ever. Sit on the couch all day (I fell off the couch one day reaching for the remote). Any ideas ? Let me know.

  2. I drop things. Small things--pills, keys, spoons, toothbrushes, as well as big things like garden tools. Not planned, not expected, no pattern. Life is different at 60+.
