It's pretty sad how quickly the elderly seem to deteriorate after a fall. I have had several relatives who were overall fine and then they had a fall and it rapidly went down hill after that. It's pretty sad and definitely gives me something to be extra careful about when I get older! It's almost better to pick people from history as our role models. It's often unlikely new information is going to come out about them to make people do a 180. On the other hand, people these days seem to always find a way to disappoint you somehow.
Look after your foot strength! It is supposedly an amazing indicator of old age falls.
Yeah. But even then, people go back and rewrite history, judging the past as if it is the present.
Good to know about the foot strength! I will have to remember that too. That is also true about people rewriting history.
I was listening to a podcast about it months ago - interesting!
