Poorly (or not at all) cleared sidewalks and parking lots have been slicker than snot on a doorknob.... Just sayin'.....

So far I've been good but slipped and landed on my knee and bad wrist but turned out OK, a friend fell and blew out his knee a coyote weeks ago

I fell three weeks ago and broke my femur. It has been a nightmare. It's very dangerous so walking slow with traction on your feet is necessary. My husband has fallen a couple times but thankfully he didn't break anything.

I fell in an icy parking lot on Mon 12/19. Landed flat on my back and bruised my rear, a 2" black bruise. I have trouble sitting and bending over. I know several people who have fallen and didn't go to the hospital.

No and when it gets really icy outside I have to stay home because I walk with a Cane and it would be very dangerous on the ice for me. So I just stay home.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
