You could get one of those canes that has a sword in it. This could be the start of a new career. No one expects a woman that just fell on the floor to suddenly leap up, sword in hand and demand that everyone stand and deliver. You could be a global social influencer. With a sword.
I never leave home without my sword...

Apparently, I'm late for an appointment for diner. Woohoo!

Everybody stay safe. Be good. Don't fall down. Not even like Michael Douglas. Especially not like that.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.

No one told me that when you turn 60, you start to lose your balance. This is why when you go to the doctor, he or she asks if you've fallen this past year. OK, yes, several times.
Then the question becomes why. And of equal or perhaps greater importance, PT to strengthen balance. It helped me.

That sucks. My wife broke her hip, got it repaired, started taking drugs for osteoporosis and is doing well.
I'm glad she is!

I think the major part of Grandma's issue is she refused PT. She hated it, wouldn't do it. She declined. Lost mobility. Got depressed. The lost mobility accelerated some dementia type problems. She became impossible to transport to social events. More depression...

Just a downward spiral.

With one of my wife's problems, we had a PT coming to the house. He saw her instruments and told her he wanted to hear her play the next time he came. She started practicing, started feeling better, practiced some more, felt better, started picking more things she enjoys doing - in other words a positive feedback loop instead of a negative one.

Sounds like he knew what he was doing.

@Kathryn , my wife needed nursing care at home. Bayada sent a nurse to evaluate my wife's eligibility. If my wife was a 'fall risk' she would not be eligible......We felt that was strange...Visiting nurses can care for fall-risk patients but nurse helpers (most often used) are not permitted to care for 'fall risk' patients.......I'm not sure if even nurses can care for fall risk patients.

My replacement drug for Thyroid hormone gave me osteoporosis. I broke a vertebra and have been on bone-replacement drugs.
