May. 20th, 2023 11:46 pmWell I just had my first Old Person Fall. No injuries, just a banged knee.
I was getting out of my chair with the aid of my cane, as you do. My left knee has been popping lately when I do that, and I'm trying to develop a technique for not putting weight on it till I'm up, and this time it just pitched me forward prone on the floor.
My cane was right there so I had no more trouble getting up again than I do on the rare occasions when I get down on the floor purposely. Nevertheless a landmark.
