Yes, falls are not good for seniors. The older we get the longer it takes to recover, assuming the fall doesn't kill you. My father died from complications from a fall in the kitchen when he was 83. He was in the hospital and just spiraled down.
I see in myself (72) when I get an injury, I used to heal in days, now it is weeks. No fun at all. No one told me getting old was going to happen so fast! SIGH...
