Finding balance can be somewhat difficult, especially during the winter. Extra respect is necessary for the weather conditions that create some of our woes. Take just a little extra time for reaching your destination.
When our attention is divided we are less likely to notice our risks. Outside be particularly cautious where you are placing your feet. Don't be too proud -use grippers for the feet or cane if necessary. Have sensible carry bags for items to be placed in that you have purchased. That way you are concentrating on your steps rather than dropping or misplacing a bag or package. Also have your vision checked annually or if you suspect any changes in your health, tend to an appointment then and there. Ask the pharmacist, annually to review all of your medications that you might have. your medications to make sure that that they are not out of date. Above all, keep active. Be extremely alert if you are climbing or descending public stairs in the winter time or summer time. .
Keep active. Don't let a fall get you down.
We will talk more about hypoglycemia tomorrow night.. quite common..
