Falls ...Falling is such a concern with the elderly. Falls are close to impossible to prevent. They happen so darn quickly. The past few years of my mom's life I forbid her to get out of my vehicle without me standing guard. She didn't like it, and had to be reminded every time. I would run around to the passenger side door, and usually find her half way out by the time I got there lol. She was determined and never gave up :)<br /><br />It must be humbling, startling and definitely hurts! Hope your dad takes it easy, and the bruises heal sooner than later. aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-13694990101872255492022-09-09T07:38:40.228-05:002022-09-09T07:38:40.228-05:00I wish him a quick recovery.I wish him a quick recovery.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-15553253424068894632022-09-09T06:14:50.369-05:002022-09-09T06:14:50.369-05:00So sorry to hear this about your Dad falling.
