Over the course of my life, I have fallen down hills, backward out of the bathtub, down stairs, on sidewalks, and floors. My recent experience at 68 gave me some understanding. I went to a home to pick up some lamps for my daughter and did not see them in the yard.I walked up the front steps and, for no apparent reason, fell down.
