I have had several occasions where my right leg has caved under me, causing me to fall.   My GP referred me to the National Health Service Falls Centre, which trains  people to avoid falls and breakages.

After a session I started on home with my wife, armed with a list of exercises.  Running for a bus ( dumb thing to do!), I tripped over the edge of a paving stone and crashed, face down, on the sidewalk., my arms and elbows taking the hit.

The rest of the day was effectively spent at the hospital, being examined,  patched up and X- rayed.  I felt such an idiot.   Still, I suppose that’s why they have a Falls Centre.

P.S:  I am o.k , just laughing at my own stupidity.
