A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
Recently, too many of my friends have been injured from falling. Their injuries included a cracked sternum, broken arm, ankle fracture, cracked ribs, plus hip damage. I’m talking about Syd, Anita, Patty, Barbara, Harry and Jack.
It’s time to be extra careful. Because of having weaker bones, older adults suffer more. After several falls, I went to a Balance Clinic at a local hospital to learn techniques for fall prevention. Consider taking the fall prevention class offered by OLLI at Leisure World.
The cartoons in the SUN were drawn by Gayle Schoepf, a former SUN staff member who moved to Hawaii some years ago. In spite of her bout with cancer and other ailments, she continues to do volunteer work in her community. She says “Hi” to everyone at OLLI.
There’s still time to get your best picture into the SUN’s photo contest (details on page 9).
