I fell down the stairs a year ago and broke my kneecap "on a good day". I was hastening to go to a dinner engagement with two close friends in Seattle.

People have advised me to get a cat. Maybe I should not, if they cause falls? I have tile floors and would rather not fall. I am always very careful now, but as you say, one can
always "forget". I am doing PT to improve my balance, and I have improved a lot, but I won't take it for granted!
