When my grandpa was in the hospital at age 88, my dad asked him if we should do surgeries etc to save him
He just shook his head no with the “dont you dare” look on his face.

For old people like us (Sophia and me), any kind of fall can be a disaster...
Breaking a hip often leads to pneumonia during recovery...
That can often lead to funeral expenses...

Prayers up for her recovery...

I agree, djstex.

She always seemed to be a kind person, too.

Praying for her and her family.

What is saving from falls at age 83 is this 25 minute exercise 4 times a week. My legs are still strong, and my balance is very good.

Exercise is your best friend after age 60. Better than any food, or any food supplements, or any vitamins. Those are all good, but exercise is supreme. It has given me shockingly positive results, beyond my wildest hopes.

One of the few classy old school actresses left. The newer younger ones seem to be trash.
