Be very careful going forward. My wife tripped over a carpet in the supermarket four years ago. She banged herself up pretty well, but only broke her nose..

Since then, however, she has fallen more than a dozen times. The cause is weakness in one ankle that may have come from the first fall. Each fall has made things worse as she has not had time to fully recuperate from the others. Her break count now includes six broken ribs, broken wrist, broken thumb, broken arm - all separate falls.

Be very careful.
