Early this A.M. I was up for a few minutes. MY shirt has fallen on the floor so I bent over to pick ut up, using my cane to brace myself. When I just fell backwards. D'On't know why but I hit th deck hard. NO broken bones but sure am sore.

JT, judging from the header it must have addled my brains. I really fouled it up. Other than shaking my bones good and being sore as can be everywhere no broken bones. Doctor, though, claims I have brittle bones. Has me on a pill for that. Going to give that Doctor what for next time I see her.

Standing up and bending over and so on can do funny things to your blood pressure, especially if it is early morning when your body might still be half asleep. I hope it's only "one of those things" that happens when you get up in the middle of the night and start doing gymnastics. Best wishes for a quick recovery from the shaking up.

Ouch,
Hope you'll be better soon, mate. Has your doctor checked your blood pressure? Cogito's right, blood pressure can lead to those momentary blackouts. Also with age the sense of balance does deteriorate a bit. Happened to my great grandmother, she fell and broke a leg at the age of 83. Thankfully she was unusually sturdy for her age and recovered her mobility.
One of the things we did get for my great grandparents (they were quite long lived. They died when I was 16 and 24), we baught them two of those little grappler-sticks
That way the could pick up things without having to bend or kneel down. Maybe that could help you, too.
Hope you'll be better soon, mate. Take care.
