I read an article the other day indicating that falls are the leading cause of injury for older people.
One out of every three Americans 65 and older falls and almost a third of them require medical treatment. What's scary is that almost 16,000 older people died from falls. So, I've come up with a way to make sure I'm in the category of seniors who don't get hurt or die after falling. I put a mattress on the floor, intentionally tripped myself, and fell on the mattress. No injury and I'm still alive. Got that out of the way......Now what's next?
Knowing this kid, and from the expression on her face along with her crossed arms, I have to wonder what she's thinking. Probably something like, "Geez, when is this old buggah going to pop off."
