The Benefit of Vitamin D in Fall Prevention

Hi:
I'm sorry about your loss, and I know from personal experience that any fall in the bathroom is very dangerous. When I was 44 I was hospitalized with Ketoacidosis from newly diagnosed Diabetes. I had always been an occasional bed wetter but once out if the hospital the wetting became a daily problem.
My Doctor and his Nurse convinced me that I should wear a diaper until we could get the problem under control but I still tried to make it to the toilet every time I had to go, even though I had a diaper on. One night I woke up and rushed into the bathroom trying to get the diaper off and I slipped in a towel the cats had pulled off the towel rack. I caught myself but not before my thigh and hip hit the side of the tub.
The bruise on my leg and butt was the most spectacular I had ever seen in my life and when my Doctor was looking me over to be sure I hadn't done anything worse than give myself a painful bruise, his Nurse Sandy asked me why I was trying to get an already wet diaper off? I told her that I had to pee, and she said... That's what the diaper is for... if you're not going to use it ... Why wear it? She went on to say that if I had, I could have saved myself a massive bruise and it could just as easily have been my head and not just my butt.
I took her advice. I now get a good night sleep each night. The daytime wetting is pretty much under control, and it's nice to know that some people (Sandy) still possess "good 'ol common since".
