Default Bad Fall

I probably will have some idea how good my bones are in a short while...
I just fell flat on my face on the brick step to my door, striking hard both knees, both elbows and the left ribcage that I fractured a couple of years ago... The ribcage is more painful than everything else...

Do I need to bump up the Vitamin D and calcium? I have to stop taking these Tuesday (7 days before all of this testing). Will it do any good to raise dose until then???

I used to think these older people who fell were really not careful. Then I got to be older. It happened sooo fast...
