I’ve gotten so paranoid about falling that I won’t shower unless my wife is home. A FRiend and fellow Church member slipped in his home and broke a hip a last saturday. His wife passed away a year ago so he will be in a care home for at least a month. He was the driving force behind our award winning gardens at the Church. Lady Bender and I spent 4 hours over there helping to do spring cleanup and made 2 trips hauling debris home and dumping it in the gulch behind the greenhouse.
You and your Lady are indeed good people and true FRiends!
I fully understand the shower fear (definitely not paranoia because it is rational) I went through it for a couple months after my cast came off. I was terrified of falling with no one home. First time I did it I even had the telephone in the bathroom!
