Kristen,
I have falling off things down to a science. And yes, my doctor thinks that is what started the hip problem. The torn rotator cuff I did when I started to pull the cord to start my lawn mower. He thinks I must have had my arm and shoulder a little twisted as I only got the cord about half way and it felt as if something had ripped my arm off.
Fred,
I am looking into having my house lowered into the ground about 6 feet so I won't have so far to fall. I think so far the only placeI haven't fallen off of it was onto the driveway. One time I just cleared the top of one of the chain link fence posts that has a pointed cap on the top. Main problem.
OOOLLLLDDDD 
Ron
