2. Nothing is wrong w/ being ultra-safe, in getting around the house, outside, shopping, the car, etc.

We were doing repairs on our stairwell going up to the 2nd floor, and I told my other half that sometimes I got a little dizzy (maybe once in 20 events), and he turned around and immediately put up stair railings for those steps. How nice and I do feel safer. We do have railings everywhere, and that rough tape that keeps you from slipping in the shower/tub. Every little thing you can do, IMHO, helps you prolong your life into a better, longer, and safer life.

Protect yourself and yours. That's the number 1 priority when you get up there in age (and for that matter, you don't need an age limit to put these things up to safeguard yourselves).
