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...

My father passed away too from complications from a fall, he was only 75. My uncle passed away from a fall. He was going to answer the front door and tripped over his little dog. He was 92.
