How I Try NOT To Fall:

 I am definitely NOT a therapist or medical technician of ANY kind. The advice I offer is simply what works for me—coming from a past history of falling many times (including down the cellar steps [and breaking my hip in the process]).

How I Try NOT To Fall:

• Clear the area around your bed so that it’s a No-Fall zone.

• Do not turn around in any way that is not SLOW, this includes full and half circles.

• Use a bed rail for adults (secured by your mattress).

•   When getting out of bed at all times, hold on to the bed rail, rise then wait
•  Wait to get your balance, your equilibrium, your sense of where you are and where you are going.

• Put all pet toys in one corner of every room (away from where you walk) OR if your pet moves them around, put them away at night.
• Be aware of where you cat or dog, or whatever, is.  (Under your feet or about to trip you is not a good location.)
• Have night lights as you go.
•  Remove small rugs.  It’s either them or you.
• Mark the edges of large carpets with bright dayglo tape.  All edges should be easily seen.
