sucks to get old and deteriorate!

I'm there too these days. A few of my falls were me just not paying attention.
I've had some face plants on concrete and haven't broke anything yet. knock on

I recently came across this on some tip on getting back on your feet after a fall.

I hafta get a walking stick. I'm thinking one of those collapsible ski
pole looking types. I've had vertigo for over 30 years but it has
gotten worse the last few years and I did a good face plant about a

The main issue is they need a rubber tip. The plastic cover for the
