My usual one or two falls per month has recently increased to three or four, the latest being a spectacular full-length face-down performance while crossing a low-traffic street at the medical center. So far I have been spared broken bones by my slight build and strong bones. I've just begun physical therapy in an effort to control my high center of gravity and improve my posture. Tall stature exaggerates the stoop!
About your early-morning freezing experience, I have only one suggestion; have you ever used a cane or hiking stick to relieve any balance anxiety
under those conditions?

Just a thought...
