I hadn't heard that about falls. Im sure some die sooner with certain falls and breaks...pneumonia often follows and that's not good for us old folks

Not everyone has a caring and empathetic heart. I sometimes feel like I was put here and its sink or swim..people have their full lives and don't have the time or inclination to visit the elderly. Just my observation. Most of us are on our own..

Just do the best you can and watch your steps. Use a cane or walker if necessary..
