One time I pinched a nerve in my neck and the doctor gave me strong painkillers. I have never had an issue with strong painkillers, but the pain was that nauseating pain that fully envelops you. I got up to go to bed, and as I was heading to the bedroom I had a moment and went down like a sack of potatoes. I spilled my drink down my shirt and was definitely out for a minute or two or longer. I lived alone at the time as well, so if I'd smacked my head, I'd have been done for.
Anyway, the human body is stupid and fucking fragile.
Way back in the day my mom used to work health insurance, and she was in dental claims. She told me once that the majority of the claims came from people falling on stairs and injuring their faces and teeth.
same here. my biggest fear is falling down the stairs, particularly to the subway. i know the railings are probably disgusting but i can't go down without holding one.
I split the difference and hover my hand right above the railing lol. There's a chance I'll miss it if I fall but at least there's a bigger chance of grabbing it.
Hate to touch literally anything on the subway. The one good thing about winter is wearing gloves all the time. A glorious freedom
My ankles are super wobbly, and I sprained them so much as a kid that I developed a defense mechanism where the second I felt my foot start to roll I would just drop to the floor. When I had children I had this horrible fear I would roll my ankle and drop my babies.

I have held tightly onto railings ever since.
