I fell on Saturday and got roughed up on the right shoulder and knees; did not hit my head...Today I fell and the back of my head slammed into the couch arm rest and there is no bleeding or cuts; just hurts pretty good.
DItto to yes. It may be something for which there is a remedy. For some medical/health issues, if left untreated, it gets to a point where there is no longer any options to treat it. Would be such a pity if there was a treatment and it wasn't acted upon soon enough. Especially if you live by yourself and don't have close family near, this is a point in your life to consider getting your legal ducks in a row so that your coming years are as good as they can be! If you don't deal with things, you will be an accomplice to your own worst-case aging scenario. Just read some of the posts on this forum about peoples' parents. Please assign a Power of Attorney, get your Healthcare Directive written down and think realistically about your options if/when you can no longer live independently. I wish you all the best and for a successful diagnosis and treatment for your falls!
This could be something simple and easily treatable, but you need to know. Falling is no joke and you don't want something more serious because you took a bad fall.
