I slipped and fell last night right on my bum and today my tailbone / sacrum is definitely bruised. Good excuse for a lazy day but I can't help wondering at what ages does one go from "fell over" to "had a fall".... ๐Ÿง“

I don't know, but a couple of weeks ago I turned my head slightly the wrong way and had to go the physio lol

You are old when you have a fall and end up with a broken hip and in hospital lol

Tripped over something, stepped on something slippery etc. = "fell over"

Ended up on the ground because you can no longer balance while standing without something to hold on to = "had a fall"

Iโ€™m in complete denial about stuff like this, despite having put my back out really badly in the past by bending down to pick up a tea towel
