Well, I do have blood sugar and blood pressure problems along with a spinal injury and neck injury. I have fallen up stairs, and down stairs, once falling in such a way that I did something to my neck and literally couldn't move for a couple of minutes. Living alone, that was frightening feeling like the old women in that commercial with the, "help! I've fallen and can't get up," lol. Thought I would die laying there and my cats would eventually eat my face. Other times because of my back issues, I can just be standing one second and the next my legs just collapse and down I go. I've been shopping and walked into one of those lolly colums in a store so hard, there was a bruise from the fire extinguisher (sp?) as well as brusing my sternum. I was in so much pain for a couple of weeks, lol. As for knives, even though I know how to really chop quickly, that is definitely going to slice off my finger. Things have been like this so long, I don't even think about it anymore. It is just part of life.
