[quote=Anonymous]From. 80-83 mom walked well but preferred a cane to navigate when she was out and about as she was terrified of falling. She took stairs carefully but could do them. 83-85 her mobility declined significantly with dementia and she died a month after a fall/break. My dad had a heart attack at 80 then spent covid year barely moving and lost so much mobility. He shuffles and needs a rollerwratir and a wheelchair for long distance. Currently he is in hospital after emergency surgery and if he does not get moving soon I am Not sure he will walk again and feel he will pass sinner because of it. Some of their friends are still world travelers and walk daily, of course but most have slowed and beteeen frailty, balance, falls they don’t walk very well.[/quote]
