I post because I care

Falling beautifully..

  • Falling in love
  • Falling leaves in autum
  • Falling rain

What kind of fall that is not beautiful?

  • Falling cases in elderly people.

As a physical therapy, I often encounter elderly cases that is usually get worse due to fall.

In my own observation, there are two major problem in elderly which is the main cause of why their risk of fall increase.

  • They always want to do things as fast as they can and they tend to use as many short cut as they can.

For all loving children out there, please help to ensure that your parents/any elderly that you know out there doesn't take short cut and do things in their own speed.

slow and steady win the race.
-from the story of Hare and the tortoise-

Don't let them chase after your speed in walking or anything else their doing especially going down/up the stairs or ramp.

The worst case scenario that I ever encounter in elderly cases of fall....

  • This elderly was having Type 2 diabetic, fall in her bathroom with no one around accompanying her at home. That fall cause fracture on her right hip and due to having chronic diabetic problem it took ages to heal plus she is obese.

Can you imagine how is she moving around to do her activity daily living after that?

My main point here is, please help to remind our elderly to take things slow to help reduce their risk of fall.

Falling in elderly is not as beautiful as the falling leaves in autums.

By reducing the risk of fall in elderly, we can really called it the golden age for it is so precious.

The age of knowledge and wisdom.

Ok for a Second I thought you Misspelt Failing as Falling.

But I think Falling is never Beautiful even in Love as I have​ suffered Deeply by Falling in Love.

Sob Sob...​. No Valentine​ This Year for me.

@arunava don't worry about suffering in love because without the suffering we can never see the beauty of love.
Same as we can never recognize light if there is no darkness.
Someday you'll find it, the beauty of love that is just for you.
Don't lose hope in love for we gain nothing in giving up.

You still have your valentine, because valentine is not only for couple but also for family and friends.

Its a day we celebrate love and reach out for people that we love but haven't met for a very long time.

The true beauty of love is the journey that we have to face to get a little bit of love.

Some are bitter and some are sweet just like the dark chocolate.

Cheers..

I haven't lost Hope in Love it's just​ that I am scared of getting Hurt again.

I was in a relationship for over 5 Years so yeah it did Hurt a lot.

Don't be afraid to get hurt, love is like that. Even if you find someone that truly love you.. feeling hurt can never be avoided.

Even a married couple can get into a big fight sometimes, its a part of love.

for like a saying said..
What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger.
