When you’re old,
Or when young,
Or when your accident prone,
But that’s only for some.
Can’t see in the dark,
I suggest a light,
Worried about falling,
Worried about if you’re into brawling,
Or down steps you may go sprawling,
All this is certainly appalling,
Either way your screwed, falling sucks.
I say all this because I fell this morning,
In the dark in my bedroom and still what I hit on I wonder,
Bruised my chest, scraped the skin off my arm,
Bled like a sonofabitch but I washed it and it I bandaged alone,
Yeah that’s me I am the one that is apparently accident prone,
Each time I do it I end up with another groan.

But if you are having the accidents while walking and awake, I can't help you. But I think you're on the right track, the direction of less pain.

I've lucked out so far at 84. Had to give up my bike this year. Too risky of having to stop short and finding the concrete not very comfortable. Used to do 15 miles a day. Down to my stationary bike now, but still happy. My plight has been with luck. Again, be careful, but try and have fun. I'm enjoying the best years of my life now, albeit the most frugal. Helps to have a wife who's not into any girly stuff. No hair, nails, clothes et al for her. Helps to be married to a writer as well.
