Do you find that you fall frequently?

Hello Lovely People,
I have chronic pain and I find that I fall very very frequently and usually drop my handbag (hence my username). I remember on one occasion I was at the local shopping complex with friends and I was laden with bags plus my handbag when I lost my balance on the way back to the car and dropped all my bags and hurt my legs. My friends had to put everything back in my bags as I was absolutely horrified at falling like some old dear! I was absolutely drenched with water from the pavement and there was wet leaves stuck to my derrière! This was last year but it certainly wasn’t an isolated incident, but it’s the best example. Am I officially an old dear?
