Are you currently using a walking aid - cane, walker, or other?

I believe I avoided falls up to now by preemptively using a cane, specifically a Hurrycane. I used a regular cane for a while, but found that the single tip would sometimes slip out of place with weight placed on it.

I'm 11 years older than you and also live alone.
I dislike the idea of wearing something around my neck all the time, and am still using a flip phone, so not Alexis and others at this time.
Maybe someday, I'll move up in technology, but at this time I conside it a burdem.

Take care!

I attended Jimmy Carter's Sunday School class about 20 years ago;

it's one of those precious events you treasure in your heart.
Jimmy and Rosalyn are so gracious to all their guests.
Wasn't that kind of Jimmy to invite Mayor Pete to participate in the reading?

I'm sure Mayor Pete benefitted personally from being in Jimmy's class.

Those who are not aware of their impending death may believe they have time

to accomplish the writing of a will. Some others, unlike the man in the news story, believe their assets are not enough to bother with.

Nonvoters are more like the second type. Although the voting date is set, nonvoters believe their vote will not make a difference.

I did Recovery International 50 years ago, when I was young like you.

Very good philosophy and good support for any age.
I second the recommend.

The telemarketers are not disappearing fast enough for me.

Dang phone calls at 8:10a. m., when I'm planning to sleep another 2+ hours.
Dang phone calls calling me from the bathroom to hear a lot of nonsense.

I finally bought a set of phones that display call # & place calling from.
Dang phone calls list places that are not valid locations.
Dang phone calls imitate phone numbers I have legitimally received.

New phones have a blocking mechanism, which I've been using liberally lately.
I don't know if I'm blocking any legitimate calls, and don't know how to unblock them if I am.

Dang telemarketers.....
