Seniors

I had a trip and fall about three weeks ago that resulted in a minor compression fracture of my left arm and a sprain of my right wrist. My sister was with me when I fell, and a nearby man immediately came over to help me up.

I went down flat on my face, but apparently got both hands in place to keep me from breaking teeth or my nose. I'm 75, and occasionally break something. Sigh.

Every two or three or four years I break a toe, and a few weeks ago I was thinking that I hadn't broken one in some time, and so was overdue. Sure enough a few days later I broke the little toe on my right foot, and the next day the next to little toe on my left foot. Then the broken arm. I just hope the breaking bone gods are done with me for the rest of my life.
