I read an article that said elderly people that have falls tend to die in five years.Have you heard that?

My fall was last fall and I never dreamed it would be such a long recovery.I am not the same both physically and mentally.It takes a toll on the mind and body.

I have always taken care of my mother and siblings but now it is as if I am helpless.Without the support of my mother and husband I have literally had to fight with myself to get well.It is hard to explain but think about it.

Are you fearful of falling? I have concluded that if I fall so be it.I will deal with it when and if it occurs.I am trying my best to get back even to half of what I was.It is so tempting to just give up then to read a medical article about only living five more years after a fall makes me want to prove them wrong.Just like after the car hit me and so many doctors told me I'd never walk again.I was walking in nine months BUT my hubby and mom were beside me and now I am alone doing it all over.

Don't give up if you have a fall. Don't look back you aren't going that way.You keep on going.Like I told someone yesterday when asked how I was "I am still kicking just not as high".

That lovely homeless lady inspired me.Pray for her with me that she is protected from evil and has peace.We are all different yet so alike.
