[quote=Anonymous]I've found my dad, also 70, has gotten much more cautious within the last year. He's also very set in his routine and doesn't like to deviate. Even though he's in pretty good shape and health, he likes to stick to his short walks outdoors and longer walks on the treadmill. I honestly think he's worried about falling and getting injured. A friend of our family had her mother pass in December 2018. She fell and broke her hip. She was in her late 80s and ruled not a good candidate for surgery even though she was in good health. She was confined to her bed, got pneumonia, and passed a few weeks later. I think that story really resonated with him and made him more cautious. [/quote]
