Yes. Repeatedly, watching the clients my daughter has at the Elderhome, a fall has preceded 9/10 of the deaths. And the bad thing, she's got one old fellow who has fallen three times in the last month. He spent a week in the hospital the first time, but he forgets he can't just get up and walk to the smoke room so doesn't take his walker. He tries to make it with a cane and falls. She was up
changing his bedding and cleaning things up at 3 am this morning. She can't put restraints on the bed, or even bars; it's against Oregon law. She's scared to death he's going to get Pneumonia, too.
I have a death grip on my walker, and even on my Jazzy, so I won't fall. It would do me in.
