How To Answer The Question " Have You Fallen"?
Should be simple yes or no, but starting to think I need to change my answer. I always answer " No, I have not fallen to the ground, but I do loose balance and start to fall.

Any loss of balance is critical- please tell your Dr. One of these times you wont catch yourself! I have broken my leg twice this year due to falls I couldn't recover from. Dr put me in a leg brace to help stabilize me and I walk assisted with a cane most of the time. Better safe than sorry. Casts suck! Take care of you!
Yes, tell them you've almost fallen! The question is asked 1) to keep you safe while at the doctor's, lab, etc. and 2) to keep track of your symptoms.
Yes I have fallen a few times and could not get up. I had to have help. One time I fell and hit my face and was on my stomach and my wife had to help me get up. Thank goodness it was in my backyard.
I have caught myself many times and now when I feel like that I use a cane but because my artificial knees are giving out I may be looking at a walker. Life is about making small adjustments to improve our daily happiness quotient! Chins up!
I have fallen several times.
