My mother was falling all of the time. After a broken pelvis (3 places), three months later a broken vertebrae in her neck, then countless other falls, the Doctor reviewed her medications. Once the meds were cut back, she was no longer falling.

She used to quip that she has more falls than Niagra!

Not sure if this is the case for you, could be because of the countless injuries you have had. To keep yourself safe and enjoy your vacation, I would rent a scooter too!

Try to stay upright and have a good trip.

Do you use a mobility aid in daily life? If not, then it might be time to start thinking about it. I started using a cane because I kept falling. I found having a point on the ground that did not crumple when my legs did was helpful.

I 'almost fall' lot, realize i'm about to fall, and catch myself. Stength is not my issue. Balance and coordination are. Keep an eye out where walls, doorways, solid furniture are, in the event...Take cane when I go outside.

I fall a lot becuase of balance issues from CP. I have the worst time with getting in and out of the shower so I had grab bars put in. That has my a big difference in my safety.
