Kenny Logins posted:the only thing worst than falling on your back is doing it in the freezing cold. it's somehow just so much worse, too couple years back I was out shooting a gig, had just gone to put my kit in the car trunk and move the car before the car park closed; the street down to the club was pretty steep and it had rained for the first time in ages, and I was wearing leather-soled boots - my feet went straight out from under me like perfect L shape and I landed hard on my rear end. Put a hand down to catch myself and cricked my wrist a bit, but worse than that was the whole-body shock that hit me a few hours later and lasted about a week, just a total lethargy. I can see how actual old folks get hosed up by falls even if they don't break anything.

I can see how actual old folks get hosed up by falls even if they don't break anything. I have done this exact sequence. I was still in college and my girlfriend and I were driving back from her parent's when a freak ice storm hit the highway. It was standstill traffic for hours so we decided to switch seats at a point, and I just absolutely ate it on the ice. Luckily I was 19 so I bounced back quick. Falling on ice loving hurts!!!!

i know that this might be the geriatrics thread, but most yosposters aren't at this phase of your life but... ...please have a discussion with your loved ones about your goals of care and expected outcomes. you do not want to be riddled with cancer and 78 and somehow still a full code because your kids think 'pep pep is a fighter'

you should definitely get your wills sorted when you get married, buy a house, have children, or hit 40, whatever happens first (i'm a hypocrite here and keep putting it off but it's top of my 2022 todo list)

We just started getting a will put together last week. Just five minutes ago I was e-mailing the lawyer back, actually. I mean it's pretty simple but also there's some interesting conversations to have. If you're incapacitated, who do you trust to write checks on your behalf? Make your health care decisions? Turns out it wasn't anyone in my immediate family!

If I drop dead everything will go to Mrs Farmer. I think she knows me enough that I don’t need a living will for thing like ’Don’t let them revive me if I will be a vegetable’.
