Speaker 1 (00:24):
All right, all right, good morning, Good morning everybody. I
love my theme song, my new theme song. I love
to hear. It is really great. It's groovy, it's real,
it's lightweight, but it's really cool and groovy. And I
don't know who played. I don't know who the musicians
were they did that song, but then it's good anyway.
They dance at six twenty one. We've had June teenth Thursday,
(00:49):
and we had the first day of summer on Friday.
We've had a big week and now we're going into
the weekend. It's been really great, I guess for everybody.
And June tenth was a federal holiday, meaning everybody I
guess across the country was off of work or something.
I don't know how it celebrated, but I guess that's
where it happened. It is a federal holiday. So hello
(01:12):
to you and to all everybody, and welcome to let
Grandpa speak. I'm your host. I'm grandpa, and like most grandparents,
I love everybody. You know, when you get to be
a grandparent and you have grandchildren, you just love them,
and you love them different than you did with your
own children. You don't feel the same with them. You
(01:32):
just feel, hey, I love these grandkids, and so that's
what we do. We love younger people anywhere. Oh, most
older people have a love for younger people that want
to wish the best for them and hope they have
a good life. But we just had, like I say,
we had two great holidays to pass by. We're getting
ready now for summer, and a lot of people will
(01:54):
be getting ready for them to going on vacations soon.
Kids will be out of school, maybe in another week
or two. Some of them are probably already out, and
so that's gonna make difference at home. Home life is
gonna change now because children are going to be home.
But then this is also the time that we take
(02:15):
a vacation. And I remember taking vacation. I had five children,
and every year I would take a vacation with them
and we would drive. We would drive all across the
United States of America. Sometimes I don't know if they
really liked it, but they seemed through. They had a
great time, and me and their mom we all went.
(02:36):
Everybody went on a vacation together, not like some people.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I know a lot of people criticized me for this,
but I never went on a vacation without my children.
But some people say, oh, no, I'm going on a vacation.
I'm not gonna have them rug rats. And I never
looked at my kids as rug rats. I never looked
at my children. It's something that I'm tired of. I
never looked at something as kids getting on mine their right.
I never did that. And I feel great, and my
(03:02):
kids right now are really loving to me, and you know,
they're doing well in life as well. But I think
that's where it was. But people would, I mean a
lot of people say, man, how come you go on
a vacation with your kids? How can you do that?
I'll say, how can I go without them? You know,
we're all together, we are families. So that's the way
it was going. It was fun. They learned a lot.
(03:23):
They travel all across of America. It broadened their mind,
it helped them. So if you having problem right now
with traveling, or would want to go over seas or
some af war start or something you might not want
to go, you might want to travel in the United States.
There's some wonderful places to see in California, a lot
of waterfalls and things. I think you need to contact
(03:46):
the parks and recreations and ask them to give you
a list of where you could go and have a
nice vacation. You have a life vacation in this country.
We don't always have to go across the country somewhere
to see something that we are already seeing here. But
we drove. But back in the day, like I said,
we drove over across the country and it was fun.
(04:07):
I really enjoyed it. A lot of people in this country.
We felt safe, we were good. So hey, we enjoyed it.
Now we have our own fro Now that gee kids
they have their own family. They don't come around as
much as they used to, but I like for them
to do that. They really take care of me, right,
So I don't have a problem with my kids. They
come and see me every week if they can every month.
(04:30):
I know some people say, I haven't seen my kids
in six months. Well, my children always come to see me.
They really attached to me, but I was always attested
to them. I live in a fifty five plus neighborhood
and it's nice here. I liked it. I didn't. I
had a big house like before, and then I moved
(04:51):
to an apartment. I lived in an apartment for a while,
it was really nice, and then I decided to I
want to do something else different. So that's what I did.
But seniors now have different opportunities than we had back
in the day. A lot of time, like I say,
I like it. People ask me my secret for how
(05:14):
I keep myself looking good and everything. I had a
birthday June to sixth, You know, I was ninety five
years old. Wow, ninety five running around doing my thing.
I'm happy, you know. But I do the things that
I do to keep myself happy. I usually tell you
about it every Saturday morning at nine am. So listen,
(05:37):
listen to that show. It's going to be for your benefit,
and that's what it's for about. How do you stay healthy?
I'm doing it. How to be alert? I'm doing it.
I remember things. I'm doing things, and you can do
but you have to do some of the things that
takes to do that, and you have to keep moving,
you know. So I keep moving. I keep doing all
the right things. I don't have a secret. People always say,
(05:58):
what's your secret? What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Where?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Say? How come you look so good? You don't look
like you are day over sixty years old? And I
know what they mean, I look good, and I got
that swagger with me and everything. I still got a
little of that. But that's what you have to do.
You have to love yourself. If you really love yourself,
you're going to do the right things for yourself. You know,
like I teach you subject to you about some time ago,
(06:21):
and I was telling you about how to really love yourself.
If you really love yourself, the first thing you're gonna
do is get up and brush your teeth, making sure
your chief looked up, because that's what you look. That's
where people look at you when they see you, they
look at your face. So the first thing you do
is jump up, brush your teeth, get yourself ready, take
you know, take a shower. When you take a shower
and clean yourself clean, you feel better. That's one of
(06:43):
the best feelings you can have in your life. And
you feel good about yourself. But the whole I did,
love yourself. Love yourself. That's very important. But you know,
your diet is very important, your exercise is very important.
All of that's important, but you gotta love yourself as well.
A lot of people don't like theirself. And I'm a
(07:06):
person that shouldn't like I'm short. I'm five to three,
and people from five for three all luck sort of
like we'd discriminated against highly. Girls don't want to date you.
They's all, you're too short and this that, and you're
all kind of problems until you get rich. Then when
you get rich, then they'll they'll give you a date
and go out, even if you're short. But anyway, I
(07:29):
sell them eat any red meat, I don't. I stay
away from that. I eat something every once in a while,
but I basically stay away from it. I'll eat a
little chicken, a little fish and turkey. If I eat that,
I don't eat it a lot of times. I don't
need a lot of that kind of food that would
(07:49):
affect my health. I think that's what you know, you know,
as somebody say, well, when you eat meat, you eat
blood and starch, you know, So I don't. I don't know.
So I kind of back over that a little bit.
I like I like grapes, symbanatas. I like fruits, so
I eat a lot more of that, and I just recently,
not too long ago, start they eating a lot more
fruit fruit. But I never did eat a lot of meat,
(08:11):
so I always did. But I think if you're interested
in life. You keep living if you're interested in life
because you have a purpose to be here. You're thinking
in that way, and I think it's all about you.
It's nothing you can't you you're you have a power
within you, but you don't have a power two feet
(08:32):
outside of you. You don't have no power and nothing.
You don't even know if if if round the corner
is even there or not as far as you know,
but it's not there. So we have to keep ourselves living,
and we have to think about it's all about me
and it's in you. And that doesn't mean you have
to be evil or mean, or or disrespectful to other
(08:55):
people or anything. It just means that you love yourself.
And when you love yourself, you become. You don't have
a lot of negativism, you don't have a lot of
wrong false singing. And that's why I say every day
you hear me say I love everybody. I love everybody
because I feel that my body is full of love
and kindness. I don't have people say, well, how come
you don't get angry. I don't see you're angry at it.
(09:17):
You don't have to get that when you get yourself together,
get yourself together. Anger is an emotion and emotions to
do what emotions put you out of control and you
make bad decisions at that time. So get those get
rid of those things, love yourself, feel good about yourself,
and you won't have a stress. You get rid of
(09:38):
a lot of stress that you would have. Now these
programs are developed. They have a lot of different programs
developed for singers. The city have programs, the government has programs,
your state has programs. There's a lot of different programs
to answer most of your problems. If you do the research,
(09:59):
you gotta find so if you have a problem, things
are not going you can't get any help here, you
can't get no help over there, call one of the organizations.
Later on in the show, I'm going to give you
a phone number or give you someone to tell you
some of the people to call. But that's what you
need to do if you're having a problem. If you
can't do this, you can't do it. Because they have
(10:20):
most of the solutions almost for everything. You just have
to know about being to know and know what's happening
and know where to go. They have all kinds of
senior programs all over this country for people of senior
people of senior life. So it's good to make sure
that you follow the idea that I'm telling you right now.
(10:44):
Call your city ask them to do they have any
senior programs that you can use and that it would
help you. Call your state. They have it, and then
they have a lot of other organizations that are back
and I'm going to give you a real good later
on the show we talk about that. Now. Most of
the problems that we have we call. Like I say,
(11:05):
you can call city hall in the state where there
you have problem, we can go to the senior center.
They have senior centers in it and a lot of
people don't go. Senior citizens are good. They're fine. They
even serve you some food if you want free food
is pretty good to the healthy food. So go to
your senior citizens. There they also give you a lot
(11:26):
of information. They'll also be able to tell you things
that you need to know and this are the things
to help you get your life in order. In medical
they can cover with all kinds of subjects, so make
sure you do that. They also have state run programs
and federal programs. As I said before, make sure you
I'm saying sometime I say things two times, but you know, seniors,
(11:48):
I have to say a thing two times because they
hear you the first time, but it don't click. You know.
It's like you reach up to your senior, say my
name is Bill. Now, Bill is a pretty regular name,
you know, see, but most sing said when you say
your name was So that happens, you know. So make
(12:11):
sure you realize that even though you're getting older, you
still can live a wonderful life. You don't have to
go by that old mess that they had a long
time ago about seniors where you're you're thrown out in
the left field. You're useless, you're no good, your comatose,
you're sitting there. I don't even know what's going on.
You don't know what deed is over time, and it's
(12:33):
stuff that get your life in order, make your life wonderful,
live the life that will make you happy for the
rest of your life. And you know we're in the
second half of our life. Now's the time we shoved it.
Be like the people here in Sun Lakes where I live,
we have a dance every Friday and Saturday night when
get down with the Buggy Wey dance. We do all
(12:54):
the things to do. And that's what keeps us I
think keeps us young, and that's what keeps us activing,
and it keeps us going because they hes our attitude.
A lot of people have the wrong attitude. This the
like they're angry about something, They're like they pissed off
about something. Well, if you have that attitude, that's what
you're gonna keep creating for yourself. Whatever you're thinking and
(13:15):
have the attitude about, that's what you're gonna experience. If
you don't believe it, think about it, think about what
your life is about, think about what you're doing, think
about the things that they're and you realize, hey, this
is my fault. I'm the blame for this. And I
can do that, and you can. You can live a
long and live a long time and have a good life.
(13:35):
I'm an example of it. There's a lot of people
who are example of it. Like and so you know,
we've covered the blue zones of five Balloon where people
always live over be one hundred years and they do
it year after year. So we can do it too.
We just have to realize and start thinking and doing
the right stuff. Reaganwhile, we don't get along with stuff
(13:55):
like that. It's because we get a little lazy, we
get a lethargic, we get tied. I'm tired. I don't
do that. Don't be tired. Take that word out, get
rid of it. You're gonna be tired all the time.
If you're tired, there may be some problem with you
most of the time. If you're getting tired, you have
(14:15):
a heart problem. So you've got to realize that. Today
I'm going to talk about how seniors are falling down.
They feel like there's almost epidemic of it. A lot
of people are falling at older people. So we're going
to talk about that. And I did a show way
back about the first part of the year, and I
told you about falls and so if you if you,
(14:36):
if you heard the show and you really took some
of that into uh information to heart, then you're probably
not one of those people that's falling. But if you're
having to be one of those people who didn't take
it for heart, you know, I gave you a test.
I gave you a test to test how you were
aging and everything else. Sold. We're going to do a
little bit of that a little bit later on, So
(14:56):
tay tuned. We'll be right back.

Everybody loves to hear what Grandpa has to say, because
Grandpa speaks with wisdom. Here on km ET Saturday morning
at nine am, be sure to listen back talk about
(18:55):
you again. This is the second half of the show,
and on this part of the show, we're going to
talk about something more serious than we did in the
first part. We're going to talk about older US adults
are increasingly dying, and they're dying from falls now. In
(19:16):
nineteen eighteen, I did a show telling you about opiods,
and that was a long time ago. Is long before
opiods ever came out. And the reason why I'm saying
that is this a lot of times people do not
take stasistics when old people die. They don't do embalming,
they don't try to pinpoint why they died if they
(19:38):
live a certain age, they say, oh, well, we won't
worry about that. They've had a good life, so we'll
pass that over. So they miss a lot of good information,
a lot of good points by doing that, by not
paying more attention and writing down why senior people die.
But I guess they're taking records of it now, which
is very good, and I wish they would do more
(19:59):
of it because a lot of times we don't know
why seniors passed because we don't get into it. But
now they're getting into it. They're trying out that falling
is one of the big things that's causing a lot
of singiens to pass away. That's with heart attacks all
other stuff to go along. Now, federal report that they
published some time ago, and they used I thought they
(20:25):
used it like that. They said that white people. I
don't necessarily like to separate people like that, but they
say that white people are counting for the vast majority
of the deaths that they're having from people walking. And
I don't know why that is or what it is,
or why they were saying say it that way, but
that's way they say this. They said from two thousand
and three to twenty twenty three, that's twenty years. Death
(20:48):
rates from falls have risen seventy woah percent. That's a
lot between people who are sixty five and seventy and
orders from the US Centers of Disease and Control, the
CDC and Prevention, and that's what they're saying. And the
rate that's increased more than seventy five percent of the
(21:12):
people who are seventy five to eighty and more than
double for seniors who are eighty five and older. So
falling has become a great issue now. I lived back
East most of my life and in the winter time,
you know, you have to really be careful about falling,
because they say for men, at least they were saying
(21:35):
when I was a kid, if you fall and break
your hip, you're gonna die. You're not gonna live. You
may live a year, you may live a few years afterwards,
but you're gonna pass away there away from that fall.
I don't know what that's about or why that happens.
I guess you must break up, break something on your hip.
When you break your hip, it's one of the pass
(21:56):
you have to watch out for. Falls continue to be
a public health problem and it's worth paying attention to.
That's what the University of Michigan is the research is
telling us, who was not involved in the new report,
but they are still occurring about it's curious that those
rates keep rising. They're wondering, why does that keep rising?
(22:17):
If it's going to just keep going up and up.
Seventy percent is a awful lot percentages. Now, the CDC researchers,
they said, do not try to answer why the death
rates from falls are increasing. Are they They did not
do the work that they should have been doing, but
(22:39):
they should have been doing. But the experts say there
may be a few more reasons, like gradually improving our
understanding of the rate for the roles that it falls
that plays in the death and why we and why
they're doing it, and why much the people are living
much longer. It also increased. This is the death rate
(23:00):
of people falling to ages when falls are more likely
to have a deadly consequences. And that's where they're going
with there's more than forty one thousand retirement age Americans
died of falls in twenty twenty three. I don't have
a record of winning in twenty four or twenty five
(23:21):
but the most recent year for which they found statistics
based on death certificates are available. That's what they found out,
and that suggests that falls were blamed in about one
of every fifty six death of old Americans for twenty
twenty two three in that year. But now more than
half of those forty one thousand people were eighty five
(23:45):
and older. That's what the CDC they found out. They
did the research and they found out and they said
the people that accounted for eighty seven percent of the
death in the oldest category, some people were eighty seven
percent is a big one. But anyway, falls can cause
(24:06):
head injuries. It can call it broken bones, it can
need the permanent disability. A fall can lead to your
permanent and trick a cascade of other health problems. Also,
it can cause your life. A number of factors can
contribute to falls, and that's what we're going to go
a couple of those and try to find out to
(24:27):
try to help you fall including changes in your hearing
and vision and your medication can cause you to be
light headed. I've been there. I've had medicine where medicine
knocked me out. I was in front of my house
talking to somebody blamed just went down. It was medicine
(24:48):
that took me down, but I was looking at to
find out. But it was because I didn't know it
was the medicine that that was that was that was
causing me to to black out because I was blacking out.
Ever caused me the blackout, I didn't know it was
the medicine. I kept thinking, Man, I'm blacking out. Something
wrong with me, my heart or this that we're going
(25:08):
to all of that come to find out if it's
the medicine. So you got to be very careful even
if you're taking medicine about that. And that's what they're
playing also because they could be your medicine. We don't know.
They don't know what it is just yet, but if
they keep taking the statistics, then they got to find out.
But they've already doing pretty good and they got eighty
and ninety percent of the falls to see people of
(25:30):
a certain age. Now, death rates very widely from state
to state. So in twenty twenty three, Wisconsin had the
highest death rates from falls, followed by Minnesota, then followed
by Maine, Oklahoma, and Verlon. Now, Wisconsin's rate was more
than five times higher than the rate of the lowest states.
(25:54):
That is a lot. So I think what happens in
those states since they had winter time, people can't get out,
so people are staying inside. They're not they don't get
the right exercise, and wintertimes they slow down. They probably
stay inside. They probably don't get go out as well.
They can't walk as much, they can't exercise as much
(26:16):
as they would do when the weather changed. So that
may be part of a problem for those people up
in those states that they seem to be the colder
states seem to be where the people were pulled and
it could be like ice in wintry weather. May be
partly to explain why fatal falls were more common in
those in those states and in the New England area.
(26:38):
But x states also ported to other things and that
are in play, like different how well falls are reported.
We got to get that done. A falls needs to
be reported. They like a person fell down and you
know he get up and do all right. So because
he's okay, later on you found out, oh no, he
(26:59):
practiced his of his practice pelvits, he practiced something there.
Then he got to go in and get that done.
And they find out, old boy, something else is happening,
and it may lead if they're not careful, to something worse.
We yet unraveled. While we see all these differences in
the States race, we don't know who studies falls among
(27:21):
the elderly. They got to find out why, and they're
doing the research to try to find out why it's
falling because it is a death issue. It's like having
canceled or any other thing. But it's not a disease.
It's just that we fall. But we explained how the
first part of the year, we did a show explaining
(27:42):
to you what might can happen with you to fall
in how to prevent it. You can prevent that if
you know what. Nobody wants to fall and crack their
head or crack their ribs. I heard a friend was
telling me that he just took another friend to the hospital.
The man fell, and this is the truth.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
He said.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
They broke ribs, They broke something the knee of legs
or something. He broke a number of bones in his body,
So people don't know what his health was at that time,
and that may be the cause of the reason why he's failed,
because his bones were getting weak. Because when he failed,
he had a lot more bones for him. So they
(28:21):
rushed into the hospital thinking that man, what is going
on with this? How could he fall and break all
those bones? He must have failed for a like you
fail from a two story building or something. He said, no,
he failed in the house and the house and he
broke all those bones. It's unbelievable. So sometimes you knew
we got to do what we got to do keep
ourselves healthy, and that's what we should do now. Researchers
(28:43):
also explained why seniors died from these falls and why
the higher rates are growing up higher and higher. And
that's to mean something. We have the difference of falling
between ethnic groups and racial groups. There's a differences in
those as well, so I guess they've got to do
a lot of research. In eighty five, they say people
(29:05):
who are eighty five and up in that age group,
the death rate for white Americans is two or three
times higher than other ethnic groups. We have to work
on that. We have to find out why that is
a while older people other other groups ethnic groups, they
have a lower fall rate than I think it's because
(29:27):
they probably get around more, they'll probably exercise more, they
probably work on their muscles more. If you know and
get out some sand. But I don't know why they
have to break it down like that, but they did.
Did they said that the copyright all rights are reserved,
and so to what what we're saying here. So that's
(29:49):
basically what I have to say about that, and that
is that we have to be very careful about fault. Now.
I know a lot of people will probably say, well,
this was that you have to do what you have
to do when you get older, just like you had
to do when you were younger. When you were young,
you did certain things, and now as you get older,
(30:11):
you have to change your lifestyle. And one of the
things you have to do change your lifestyle is to
keep moving. You got to keep your muscles up. I
gave you a we had a fun show sometimes back
where we sat. I showed you you can check how
you were aging by sending on one foot. If you
can send that ten seconds on one foot, you're doing
(30:31):
pretty good. Then try the other foot, you're doing pretty good.
If you're not doing that and you can't do that,
you need to talk to your doctor about what you
need to do to strengthen up your body. And that's
basically how most of those people fall, their body just
get weak, and it would probably be like the man
that we took to the hospital last week where he
(30:53):
you know, I don't we don't know what happened to
his bones. But everybody thought he was healthy and strong
because he was one of those guys, that one of
those macho men. But something happened. They don't know what
happened to him that he would fall and break all
those bones in his body. But remember, we did this show.
It was called a free Fall. I don't know if
(31:15):
you can see it, look like I put it up there.
I was breaking in there. You go. I did the
show first. He says, stay healthy and independent by checking
your wrist for a fall. And that's what we need
to do. Have you fallen in the past year, That's
the first thing my doctor asked me when I go
his office or a nurse, Have you fallen in the
(31:36):
last year or whatever? They know, he says, So be
careful and these are the things you got. There are
many steps you could take to parental fall, but these
are questions that tells you if you have a risk
of making a fall. I used to have it, says, uh.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I used to have.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I've been have I've been advised to use a cane.
Some people have been buying use a cane. Some people
they don't like to use a cane. But we have
one lady on them to come up on the dance floor.
She got a cane and she gets down. She dance
all evening with that cane. So don't be embarrassed or
think you getting old or out of it by if
somebody tell you you have a cane, just get a
(32:17):
real nice, sharp looking cane, one that look great, maybe
with a buffalo on there on the knob or whatever,
something to make you look like you are not sure
or whatever. But you got to do the things that work.
Get a cane. Get you a cane. If you figure
that you're having a problem, you may fall, it is better,
(32:37):
or you may have this question. Sometimes I feel unsteady
when I'm walking. If you feel unsteady when you walk,
and that's time to think note of that. Take note
of that. Sometimes I notice a difference in my walk,
and I love to walk. I love to walk. I
walk through or four times a week. I could walk
every day, but I think it would be too much.
But I love to walk. So when I walk, I walk,
(33:01):
I'll get my strength. When I first started walking, you
feel weak. After after five minutes, you feel good. You
feel wonderful after five minutes of walking. At first, that
first five minutes and maybe a little rough, but after
that your body gets into it and you feel frun
and you're building your keeping your strength up and your
balance up by walking, because when you walk, you use
(33:22):
all your muscles, so it works for you, all right.
Another question they want to ask you, I steady myself
by holding on the furture furniture when I walk through
the house. And you know you've seen people like that
they walking there, they're holding onto this wall, they're holding
onto a dresser or a chair or something like that.
And if you're doing that, you might need to think
(33:45):
about that. You might need to say, Look, you know,
I can't even walk from here to the kitchen without
holding a rabbit on something. And I'm worrying about that.
Talk to your doctor, see what he gotta say. And
if you are worried in your mind, like you're worried
about something, you know, let's say, when you start thinking
about something, you bring it on, you make it happen
(34:06):
by thinking it. Well, that's something you need to think
about too. Don't be worried about falling, worried about how
to get do the things they keep you from falling,
And they're very simple things they keep you from falling.
I don't know if I have time to give you
all the little exercises, but we'll do it on another show.
But here's another one. I need to push with my
(34:27):
hands to stand up from a chair. You can't get
out of a chair well unless unless you're pushing up,
pushing yourself up. Well, you should be able to just
do that and get about of the chair. I can
do it, like I say, you can do it too.
You can get it, but you have to do the
right things to keep your strength up. Keep your strength up.
You don't want to go to the independent system living
(34:50):
down there where they're slapping you upside the head cause
for whatever reason. No, I don't think they do that anyway.
But if you have to push yoursel up from a chair,
you should think about that. You want to get your
knees to work. You want to be if you fall,
You want to be able to get up. So keep
your knees and your joint work. Exercise them even when
(35:11):
you're setting down. Exercise them. Stand up you know, what
are you supposed to do? You know our routine we
stand up every twenty minutes. If we're setting down. Even
if we stand up in place, exercise, put on and
set back down. That's enough to work. And if you're
setting down, if you move around, you don't just sit still.
You can you can. You can tighten your muscles up
in your body. There's a lot of things you can do,
(35:34):
all right. Here's another one. I have some trouble stepping
on to a curve. And I've seen people do they
get to that curve if anybody's around, they're gonna grab you,
they gonna hold, so they step up on that curve.
That's the cause people have weak joints. Their knees are weak.
They can't they can't prop up on the curve. But
(35:55):
you can practice. Get you up. You can get a block.
You don't have to be as high as a curve,
but you can step up on it and step like
a step stool or something. Step up on it and
step down on it, step up on it and step
down on it, and exercise and strengthen your joints, your joints.
I do it all the time when I go to
step up on something. I love it because it gives
(36:16):
me a chance to strengthen my joints and also to
work with that. Okay, I don't know what this has
to do. It is that I often have to rush
to the toilet. Well we all do, I think, But
that's the consonant problem, a urine problem. But I don't
know why they put that in here. But then some
people say I've lost some feeling in my feet. I
(36:39):
don't know anything about that. I've never heard anyone say
anything like that before. But I guess people do. You
must have lost their feeling in their feet. But I
don't know how I feel, because that seems strange. I
will definitely go to the doctor on that one if
(36:59):
I if I lost any feeling in my feet. I
don't have no lost no feeling in my feet, and
my feet of fine or everything. My blood circle and
circulation down there is fine. If you have a problem
with that, what I do. If you set, when you're
sitting down, rotate your ankles and let knees and everything
give it some exercise so that you can bring circulate
(37:20):
the blood down there, and that's how you are circulated.
Just keep rotating your ain't your leg your feet around,
round in the circle, round in the circle, and it
helps your ankle. Okay, I take medicine that sometimes make
me feel light headed or more tired than usual. Tell
me about it. All of us do take that medicine
(37:42):
to make us feel tired, light headed. No, we're not
supposed to drive the car and all that stuff. And
it tells you on the package too. If that happens
to you, just be south, be still stopping until that run,
until the feeling goes away. What's the feeling the way
that you can move around. Some people may say they'll
(38:03):
take a medicine, they'll be light headed and they have
to go out. They may have to drive, or they
may have to do that's not good to do, so
make sure you make sure you realize that you should
not do that. Maybe that's not way to do. All right, Okay,
let's have another one here and talk about I take
medicine to help me sleep or improve my mood. Well,
(38:27):
I don't know what that has to do with falling,
but I guess it has something to do with to
take your medicine to help your sleep and improve your mood.
That's okay, that's one of the questions. And the other
last question is I often feel sad and depressed. Now,
if you have to feel sad and depressed, I could
(38:47):
understand why. That is why a lot of people, a
lot of seniors, because some people may not come to
visit them like they should. We don't have you know,
our kids may not show up for a long time.
They're busy. Some of them have left the country in
the state. So we have a lot of seniors who
sort of hitting it on their own, and their family
(39:10):
can't visit them as much as they would like to
to keep in touch with them, to let to let
them know things they should be doing, and to help
them out. Seniors need somebody around to help them out.
So if you don't do that, you need to develop
a friend, find a neighborhood friend. And there's always somebody
who wants to be a friend. I can tell you
that I'm in the neighborhood. There's always somebody who needed
(39:33):
to Because seniors, whenever they get a hold of you,
they't gonna talk to you. I mean they they can't
stop talking because they haven't been around people very much.
They want to talk, they want they're just glad that
you're there. So a lot of times we need to
go and check on our seniors, check on our senior
people in the family to make sure they're all right,
(39:55):
to make sure they have a lot of things that
they need, so you never know. Okay, Now, like I
said before, some people complain about, well, I can't have this,
I can't have that. I don't have no help here.
I don't have no help. But I've been explaining to
us all year long there are certain organizations, a senior
(40:17):
foundations that will help you, and you just have to
remember who they are, and they got a lot of them. Now,
I usually I get something from the State of California
that will tell me who they are. I don't have
it here today for this program, but I will have
it for loven. But right, okay, but before I get
(40:40):
into this, I was gonna tell you about a program.
This one is called Helping Hands. This can help you
do a lot of things. And I'll tell you more
about it in just a minute. Right now, I got
a call a call.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Of you there, Hey, Grandpa, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I'm doing real good and I'm trying to tell people
about falling, especially for seniors. They have a big problem
with that and I'm trying to tell them, and I've
already told them no many times. How to avoid that.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Well, I got a lot to say. So onely thing
I wanted to touch at his death is trivialized, especially
after you reach your senior years, because they say, oh,
he lived a good vice. You already said that, but
it's a trivial thing. It's just easy to say, well,
(41:29):
we don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 10 (41:31):
He was old.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Anyway, so that when you get to be in your
fifty or fifty five, you start taking up bone density
tests because like you were talking about the man who
fell down the stairs and all his body parts is
(41:56):
cracked up.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Maybe that's broken out.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Maybe he had maybe he had maybe he had uh
had surgery, so he had uh.
Speaker 10 (42:09):
Chemo, or he had uh radiation and and and it
made his bones news uh the density so and and
then there's the whole expression.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Right, So this guy was somebody like that too. He
was a macho man, but not taking care of himself. Right.
You know, even those people have problems.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Right, So if you six feet taller, you coming down hard.
So then you talked about Minnesota and Wisconsin being the
parts where people are really having problems well with the
new architecture that's available, where people are making inclines and declines,
(43:06):
and in those areas you have more ice to walk
on so you can slip and fall. Yeah, that's that's
that's probably attributed to that those cold areas are slipping
it from. Now here's that element. Let me talk about
this before you get me off that the curve. The curve. Okay,
(43:32):
I'll reverse for a moment. When you're walking upstairs, hold
on to the rail, hold on to the rail to
support yourself going up or downstairs. Yo, don't, don't, okay,
But now let me go back to the curve. Sometimes
you got to negotiate that curve. Now, there's a strange
(43:55):
phenomena about a curve that it has a thirty degree
in it if it's a sewage curve, if it's taking
in water. So when you step down, you're not stepping
down on level ground. You stepping on a You stepping
on a slant, and you can lose your balance coming
(44:18):
down off of that curve. Does that make sense probable?
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Yeah? You can. You can't because I know a lot
of people are nervous just stepping down like that.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, but the hold on too. But that's a level curve.
The level curve is one thing. The ground is level
when you hit it, but the sewage curve is slanted
so it can take the water in.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
So don't step down there, go go go all away
from that.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Well, but that's that's that's easier standing done because sometimes
you're not paying attention.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Yeah right, yeah, true, right.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Right, and if you fall on the ground, it's gonna
be hard. The other thing is like when you walk
in and you don't feel and you get to a
certain part, just stop for a minute, take thirty seconds,
take sixty seconds, and then start back up your walk.
Don't be don't rush yourself when you walk right And
(45:32):
sometimes sometimes I had a friend I would walk with
him and if there was a driveway, he would avoid
the driveway and walk on the level ground because the
driveway would be kilted.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yeah yeah, well hey, that's why that is. Anyway, I
thank you for calling and appreciate it. A lot of
good information there. We'll keep it right now. I'm gonna
I'm gonna give you the information to where you can
find help for you, all right, take care, okay, now,
(46:08):
I'm going to give you this information that I told
you in the beginning that there are a lot of
wonderful senior organizations and foundations helping you do certain things.
This is the one that I found. I called them,
I talked contact them. They were very good. He says, Hello,
we're getting back to you. They're coming back to men.
We know that navigating these challenging times can feel overwhelming.
(46:32):
They know that seniors can run into a lot of stuff,
and you know you don't have to do it alone.
And that's what they want to tell you, you don't
have to do this alone with here's somebody here to
help you. A helping hands. That's what they're called helping
hands Senior Foundation, right, is that we want to let
you know that we're here to help you to learn
(46:52):
about a variety of services, including food programs. In home care.
You can get it on care. They'll show you how
to get that transportation, how to go where you'll need
to go back and forth to your house, housing placement.
They'll find out where you can live, where you can
(47:13):
rent a place if you don't have a place, or
whatever it is. They do all of that inconstantance supplies
and health services. They cover health services and help you
in that medical equipment. If you need like a medical equipment,
I guess like rollers and canes. Like I was saying,
you get a cane the world. They probably get all
that VA benefits. They cover that and many other topics
(47:37):
that affect your quality of life. They're called the Helping
Hands Senior Foundation. The phone number is ready, go get
that pencil. I'll wait. I'm gonna tell it to you
two times until you give get the pencil and you
come back to them eight one eight two seventy nine
six five eight zero, or reply to an email. Either
(48:02):
way you can. You can send them an email. Just
send Helping Hands Senior Foundation dot com. You know it'll
probably pop up the flu. But if you do that,
that's an organization that can help you. They do a
lot of different things. If you need a place to live,
they even do that. They even't got place to live
(48:22):
for you. If you need a place to live, they'll
find a play, independent living, shared housing, assistant living, still,
lurts and facilities. They do all that for you. Call them.
It's a wonderful organization, wonderful people. When people tell me
they're having a problem, they can't do this, can't do that.
I'm sending you there. I'm not equipped with all the
facilities that they have. They can do the thing to
(48:45):
help you make your want of them. Anyway, that's our
show for this week. Be be shore you tune in
next week when we come back with something that you
can use, is something you can benefit. We do shows
that make sense to you. We do shows for the
fifty plus people than anybody else who want to listen,
So make sure you're tune in every week. Listen to
let Grandpa speak. I'll see you next week. Then i
(49:08):
won't be in San Francisco. Then I'll probably be in
another part of the country, or i may be in space,
who knows. Make sure you're tune in to find out. Okay,
this is Grandpa. Talk to you next week Saturday morning
at nine am. Be good.
All right, all right, good morning, Good morning everybody. I
love my theme song, my new theme song. I love
to hear. It is really great. It's groovy, it's real,
it's lightweight, but it's really cool and groovy. And I
don't know who played. I don't know who the musicians
were they did that song, but then it's good anyway.
They dance at six twenty one. We've had June teenth Thursday,
(00:49):
and we had the first day of summer on Friday.
We've had a big week and now we're going into
the weekend. It's been really great, I guess for everybody.
And June tenth was a federal holiday, meaning everybody I
guess across the country was off of work or something.
I don't know how it celebrated, but I guess that's
where it happened. It is a federal holiday. So hello
(01:12):
to you and to all everybody, and welcome to let
Grandpa speak. I'm your host. I'm grandpa, and like most grandparents,
I love everybody. You know, when you get to be
a grandparent and you have grandchildren, you just love them,
and you love them different than you did with your
own children. You don't feel the same with them. You
(01:32):
just feel, hey, I love these grandkids, and so that's
what we do. We love younger people anywhere. Oh, most
older people have a love for younger people that want
to wish the best for them and hope they have
a good life. But we just had, like I say,
we had two great holidays to pass by. We're getting
ready now for summer, and a lot of people will
(01:54):
be getting ready for them to going on vacations soon.
Kids will be out of school, maybe in another week
or two. Some of them are probably already out, and
so that's gonna make difference at home. Home life is
gonna change now because children are going to be home.
But then this is also the time that we take
(02:15):
a vacation. And I remember taking vacation. I had five children,
and every year I would take a vacation with them
and we would drive. We would drive all across the
United States of America. Sometimes I don't know if they
really liked it, but they seemed through. They had a
great time, and me and their mom we all went.
(02:36):
Everybody went on a vacation together, not like some people.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I know a lot of people criticized me for this,
but I never went on a vacation without my children.
But some people say, oh, no, I'm going on a vacation.
I'm not gonna have them rug rats. And I never
looked at my kids as rug rats. I never looked
at my children. It's something that I'm tired of. I
never looked at something as kids getting on mine their right.
I never did that. And I feel great, and my
(03:02):
kids right now are really loving to me, and you know,
they're doing well in life as well. But I think
that's where it was. But people would, I mean a
lot of people say, man, how come you go on
a vacation with your kids? How can you do that?
I'll say, how can I go without them? You know,
we're all together, we are families. So that's the way
it was going. It was fun. They learned a lot.
(03:23):
They travel all across of America. It broadened their mind,
it helped them. So if you having problem right now
with traveling, or would want to go over seas or
some af war start or something you might not want
to go, you might want to travel in the United States.
There's some wonderful places to see in California, a lot
of waterfalls and things. I think you need to contact
(03:46):
the parks and recreations and ask them to give you
a list of where you could go and have a
nice vacation. You have a life vacation in this country.
We don't always have to go across the country somewhere
to see something that we are already seeing here. But
we drove. But back in the day, like I said,
we drove over across the country and it was fun.
(04:07):
I really enjoyed it. A lot of people in this country.
We felt safe, we were good. So hey, we enjoyed it.
Now we have our own fro Now that gee kids
they have their own family. They don't come around as
much as they used to, but I like for them
to do that. They really take care of me, right,
So I don't have a problem with my kids. They
come and see me every week if they can every month.
(04:30):
I know some people say, I haven't seen my kids
in six months. Well, my children always come to see me.
They really attached to me, but I was always attested
to them. I live in a fifty five plus neighborhood
and it's nice here. I liked it. I didn't. I
had a big house like before, and then I moved
(04:51):
to an apartment. I lived in an apartment for a while,
it was really nice, and then I decided to I
want to do something else different. So that's what I did.
But seniors now have different opportunities than we had back
in the day. A lot of time, like I say,
I like it. People ask me my secret for how
(05:14):
I keep myself looking good and everything. I had a
birthday June to sixth, You know, I was ninety five
years old. Wow, ninety five running around doing my thing.
I'm happy, you know. But I do the things that
I do to keep myself happy. I usually tell you
about it every Saturday morning at nine am. So listen,
(05:37):
listen to that show. It's going to be for your benefit,
and that's what it's for about. How do you stay healthy?
I'm doing it. How to be alert? I'm doing it.
I remember things. I'm doing things, and you can do
but you have to do some of the things that
takes to do that, and you have to keep moving,
you know. So I keep moving. I keep doing all
the right things. I don't have a secret. People always say,
(05:58):
what's your secret? What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Where?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Say? How come you look so good? You don't look
like you are day over sixty years old? And I
know what they mean, I look good, and I got
that swagger with me and everything. I still got a
little of that. But that's what you have to do.
You have to love yourself. If you really love yourself,
you're going to do the right things for yourself. You know,
like I teach you subject to you about some time ago,
(06:21):
and I was telling you about how to really love yourself.
If you really love yourself, the first thing you're gonna
do is get up and brush your teeth, making sure
your chief looked up, because that's what you look. That's
where people look at you when they see you, they
look at your face. So the first thing you do
is jump up, brush your teeth, get yourself ready, take
you know, take a shower. When you take a shower
and clean yourself clean, you feel better. That's one of
(06:43):
the best feelings you can have in your life. And
you feel good about yourself. But the whole I did,
love yourself. Love yourself. That's very important. But you know,
your diet is very important, your exercise is very important.
All of that's important, but you gotta love yourself as well.
A lot of people don't like theirself. And I'm a
(07:06):
person that shouldn't like I'm short. I'm five to three,
and people from five for three all luck sort of
like we'd discriminated against highly. Girls don't want to date you.
They's all, you're too short and this that, and you're
all kind of problems until you get rich. Then when
you get rich, then they'll they'll give you a date
and go out, even if you're short. But anyway, I
(07:29):
sell them eat any red meat, I don't. I stay
away from that. I eat something every once in a while,
but I basically stay away from it. I'll eat a
little chicken, a little fish and turkey. If I eat that,
I don't eat it a lot of times. I don't
need a lot of that kind of food that would
(07:49):
affect my health. I think that's what you know, you know,
as somebody say, well, when you eat meat, you eat
blood and starch, you know, So I don't. I don't know.
So I kind of back over that a little bit.
I like I like grapes, symbanatas. I like fruits, so
I eat a lot more of that, and I just recently,
not too long ago, start they eating a lot more
fruit fruit. But I never did eat a lot of meat,
(08:11):
so I always did. But I think if you're interested
in life. You keep living if you're interested in life
because you have a purpose to be here. You're thinking
in that way, and I think it's all about you.
It's nothing you can't you you're you have a power
within you, but you don't have a power two feet
(08:32):
outside of you. You don't have no power and nothing.
You don't even know if if if round the corner
is even there or not as far as you know,
but it's not there. So we have to keep ourselves living,
and we have to think about it's all about me
and it's in you. And that doesn't mean you have
to be evil or mean, or or disrespectful to other
(08:55):
people or anything. It just means that you love yourself.
And when you love yourself, you become. You don't have
a lot of negativism, you don't have a lot of
wrong false singing. And that's why I say every day
you hear me say I love everybody. I love everybody
because I feel that my body is full of love
and kindness. I don't have people say, well, how come
you don't get angry. I don't see you're angry at it.
(09:17):
You don't have to get that when you get yourself together,
get yourself together. Anger is an emotion and emotions to
do what emotions put you out of control and you
make bad decisions at that time. So get those get
rid of those things, love yourself, feel good about yourself,
and you won't have a stress. You get rid of
(09:38):
a lot of stress that you would have. Now these
programs are developed. They have a lot of different programs
developed for singers. The city have programs, the government has programs,
your state has programs. There's a lot of different programs
to answer most of your problems. If you do the research,
(09:59):
you gotta find so if you have a problem, things
are not going you can't get any help here, you
can't get no help over there, call one of the organizations.
Later on in the show, I'm going to give you
a phone number or give you someone to tell you
some of the people to call. But that's what you
need to do if you're having a problem. If you
can't do this, you can't do it. Because they have
(10:20):
most of the solutions almost for everything. You just have
to know about being to know and know what's happening
and know where to go. They have all kinds of
senior programs all over this country for people of senior
people of senior life. So it's good to make sure
that you follow the idea that I'm telling you right now.
(10:44):
Call your city ask them to do they have any
senior programs that you can use and that it would
help you. Call your state. They have it, and then
they have a lot of other organizations that are back
and I'm going to give you a real good later
on the show we talk about that. Now. Most of
the problems that we have we call. Like I say,
(11:05):
you can call city hall in the state where there
you have problem, we can go to the senior center.
They have senior centers in it and a lot of
people don't go. Senior citizens are good. They're fine. They
even serve you some food if you want free food
is pretty good to the healthy food. So go to
your senior citizens. There they also give you a lot
(11:26):
of information. They'll also be able to tell you things
that you need to know and this are the things
to help you get your life in order. In medical
they can cover with all kinds of subjects, so make
sure you do that. They also have state run programs
and federal programs. As I said before, make sure you
I'm saying sometime I say things two times, but you know, seniors,
(11:48):
I have to say a thing two times because they
hear you the first time, but it don't click. You know.
It's like you reach up to your senior, say my
name is Bill. Now, Bill is a pretty regular name,
you know, see, but most sing said when you say
your name was So that happens, you know. So make
(12:11):
sure you realize that even though you're getting older, you
still can live a wonderful life. You don't have to
go by that old mess that they had a long
time ago about seniors where you're you're thrown out in
the left field. You're useless, you're no good, your comatose,
you're sitting there. I don't even know what's going on.
You don't know what deed is over time, and it's
(12:33):
stuff that get your life in order, make your life wonderful,
live the life that will make you happy for the
rest of your life. And you know we're in the
second half of our life. Now's the time we shoved it.
Be like the people here in Sun Lakes where I live,
we have a dance every Friday and Saturday night when
get down with the Buggy Wey dance. We do all
(12:54):
the things to do. And that's what keeps us I
think keeps us young, and that's what keeps us activing,
and it keeps us going because they hes our attitude.
A lot of people have the wrong attitude. This the
like they're angry about something, They're like they pissed off
about something. Well, if you have that attitude, that's what
you're gonna keep creating for yourself. Whatever you're thinking and
(13:15):
have the attitude about, that's what you're gonna experience. If
you don't believe it, think about it, think about what
your life is about, think about what you're doing, think
about the things that they're and you realize, hey, this
is my fault. I'm the blame for this. And I
can do that, and you can. You can live a
long and live a long time and have a good life.
(13:35):
I'm an example of it. There's a lot of people
who are example of it. Like and so you know,
we've covered the blue zones of five Balloon where people
always live over be one hundred years and they do
it year after year. So we can do it too.
We just have to realize and start thinking and doing
the right stuff. Reaganwhile, we don't get along with stuff
(13:55):
like that. It's because we get a little lazy, we
get a lethargic, we get tied. I'm tired. I don't
do that. Don't be tired. Take that word out, get
rid of it. You're gonna be tired all the time.
If you're tired, there may be some problem with you
most of the time. If you're getting tired, you have
(14:15):
a heart problem. So you've got to realize that. Today
I'm going to talk about how seniors are falling down.
They feel like there's almost epidemic of it. A lot
of people are falling at older people. So we're going
to talk about that. And I did a show way
back about the first part of the year, and I
told you about falls and so if you if you,
(14:36):
if you heard the show and you really took some
of that into uh information to heart, then you're probably
not one of those people that's falling. But if you're
having to be one of those people who didn't take
it for heart, you know, I gave you a test.
I gave you a test to test how you were
aging and everything else. Sold. We're going to do a
little bit of that a little bit later on, So
(14:56):
tay tuned. We'll be right back.

Everybody loves to hear what Grandpa has to say, because
Grandpa speaks with wisdom. Here on km ET Saturday morning
at nine am, be sure to listen back talk about
(18:55):
you again. This is the second half of the show,
and on this part of the show, we're going to
talk about something more serious than we did in the
first part. We're going to talk about older US adults
are increasingly dying, and they're dying from falls now. In
(19:16):
nineteen eighteen, I did a show telling you about opiods,
and that was a long time ago. Is long before
opiods ever came out. And the reason why I'm saying
that is this a lot of times people do not
take stasistics when old people die. They don't do embalming,
they don't try to pinpoint why they died if they
(19:38):
live a certain age, they say, oh, well, we won't
worry about that. They've had a good life, so we'll
pass that over. So they miss a lot of good information,
a lot of good points by doing that, by not
paying more attention and writing down why senior people die.
But I guess they're taking records of it now, which
is very good, and I wish they would do more
(19:59):
of it because a lot of times we don't know
why seniors passed because we don't get into it. But
now they're getting into it. They're trying out that falling
is one of the big things that's causing a lot
of singiens to pass away. That's with heart attacks all
other stuff to go along. Now, federal report that they
published some time ago, and they used I thought they
(20:25):
used it like that. They said that white people. I
don't necessarily like to separate people like that, but they
say that white people are counting for the vast majority
of the deaths that they're having from people walking. And
I don't know why that is or what it is,
or why they were saying say it that way, but
that's way they say this. They said from two thousand
and three to twenty twenty three, that's twenty years. Death
(20:48):
rates from falls have risen seventy woah percent. That's a
lot between people who are sixty five and seventy and
orders from the US Centers of Disease and Control, the
CDC and Prevention, and that's what they're saying. And the
rate that's increased more than seventy five percent of the
(21:12):
people who are seventy five to eighty and more than
double for seniors who are eighty five and older. So
falling has become a great issue now. I lived back
East most of my life and in the winter time,
you know, you have to really be careful about falling,
because they say for men, at least they were saying
(21:35):
when I was a kid, if you fall and break
your hip, you're gonna die. You're not gonna live. You
may live a year, you may live a few years afterwards,
but you're gonna pass away there away from that fall.
I don't know what that's about or why that happens.
I guess you must break up, break something on your hip.
When you break your hip, it's one of the pass
(21:56):
you have to watch out for. Falls continue to be
a public health problem and it's worth paying attention to.
That's what the University of Michigan is the research is
telling us, who was not involved in the new report,
but they are still occurring about it's curious that those
rates keep rising. They're wondering, why does that keep rising?
(22:17):
If it's going to just keep going up and up.
Seventy percent is a awful lot percentages. Now, the CDC researchers,
they said, do not try to answer why the death
rates from falls are increasing. Are they They did not
do the work that they should have been doing, but
(22:39):
they should have been doing. But the experts say there
may be a few more reasons, like gradually improving our
understanding of the rate for the roles that it falls
that plays in the death and why we and why
they're doing it, and why much the people are living
much longer. It also increased. This is the death rate
(23:00):
of people falling to ages when falls are more likely
to have a deadly consequences. And that's where they're going
with there's more than forty one thousand retirement age Americans
died of falls in twenty twenty three. I don't have
a record of winning in twenty four or twenty five
(23:21):
but the most recent year for which they found statistics
based on death certificates are available. That's what they found out,
and that suggests that falls were blamed in about one
of every fifty six death of old Americans for twenty
twenty two three in that year. But now more than
half of those forty one thousand people were eighty five
(23:45):
and older. That's what the CDC they found out. They
did the research and they found out and they said
the people that accounted for eighty seven percent of the
death in the oldest category, some people were eighty seven
percent is a big one. But anyway, falls can cause
(24:06):
head injuries. It can call it broken bones, it can
need the permanent disability. A fall can lead to your
permanent and trick a cascade of other health problems. Also,
it can cause your life. A number of factors can
contribute to falls, and that's what we're going to go
a couple of those and try to find out to
(24:27):
try to help you fall including changes in your hearing
and vision and your medication can cause you to be
light headed. I've been there. I've had medicine where medicine
knocked me out. I was in front of my house
talking to somebody blamed just went down. It was medicine
(24:48):
that took me down, but I was looking at to
find out. But it was because I didn't know it
was the medicine that that was that was that was
causing me to to black out because I was blacking out.
Ever caused me the blackout, I didn't know it was
the medicine. I kept thinking, Man, I'm blacking out. Something
wrong with me, my heart or this that we're going
(25:08):
to all of that come to find out if it's
the medicine. So you got to be very careful even
if you're taking medicine about that. And that's what they're
playing also because they could be your medicine. We don't know.
They don't know what it is just yet, but if
they keep taking the statistics, then they got to find out.
But they've already doing pretty good and they got eighty
and ninety percent of the falls to see people of
(25:30):
a certain age. Now, death rates very widely from state
to state. So in twenty twenty three, Wisconsin had the
highest death rates from falls, followed by Minnesota, then followed
by Maine, Oklahoma, and Verlon. Now, Wisconsin's rate was more
than five times higher than the rate of the lowest states.
(25:54):
That is a lot. So I think what happens in
those states since they had winter time, people can't get out,
so people are staying inside. They're not they don't get
the right exercise, and wintertimes they slow down. They probably
stay inside. They probably don't get go out as well.
They can't walk as much, they can't exercise as much
(26:16):
as they would do when the weather changed. So that
may be part of a problem for those people up
in those states that they seem to be the colder
states seem to be where the people were pulled and
it could be like ice in wintry weather. May be
partly to explain why fatal falls were more common in
those in those states and in the New England area.
(26:38):
But x states also ported to other things and that
are in play, like different how well falls are reported.
We got to get that done. A falls needs to
be reported. They like a person fell down and you
know he get up and do all right. So because
he's okay, later on you found out, oh no, he
(26:59):
practiced his of his practice pelvits, he practiced something there.
Then he got to go in and get that done.
And they find out, old boy, something else is happening,
and it may lead if they're not careful, to something worse.
We yet unraveled. While we see all these differences in
the States race, we don't know who studies falls among
(27:21):
the elderly. They got to find out why, and they're
doing the research to try to find out why it's
falling because it is a death issue. It's like having
canceled or any other thing. But it's not a disease.
It's just that we fall. But we explained how the
first part of the year, we did a show explaining
(27:42):
to you what might can happen with you to fall
in how to prevent it. You can prevent that if
you know what. Nobody wants to fall and crack their
head or crack their ribs. I heard a friend was
telling me that he just took another friend to the hospital.
The man fell, and this is the truth.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
He said.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
They broke ribs, They broke something the knee of legs
or something. He broke a number of bones in his body,
So people don't know what his health was at that time,
and that may be the cause of the reason why he's failed,
because his bones were getting weak. Because when he failed,
he had a lot more bones for him. So they
(28:21):
rushed into the hospital thinking that man, what is going
on with this? How could he fall and break all
those bones? He must have failed for a like you
fail from a two story building or something. He said, no,
he failed in the house and the house and he
broke all those bones. It's unbelievable. So sometimes you knew
we got to do what we got to do keep
ourselves healthy, and that's what we should do now. Researchers
(28:43):
also explained why seniors died from these falls and why
the higher rates are growing up higher and higher. And
that's to mean something. We have the difference of falling
between ethnic groups and racial groups. There's a differences in
those as well, so I guess they've got to do
a lot of research. In eighty five, they say people
(29:05):
who are eighty five and up in that age group,
the death rate for white Americans is two or three
times higher than other ethnic groups. We have to work
on that. We have to find out why that is
a while older people other other groups ethnic groups, they
have a lower fall rate than I think it's because
(29:27):
they probably get around more, they'll probably exercise more, they
probably work on their muscles more. If you know and
get out some sand. But I don't know why they
have to break it down like that, but they did.
Did they said that the copyright all rights are reserved,
and so to what what we're saying here. So that's
(29:49):
basically what I have to say about that, and that
is that we have to be very careful about fault. Now.
I know a lot of people will probably say, well,
this was that you have to do what you have
to do when you get older, just like you had
to do when you were younger. When you were young,
you did certain things, and now as you get older,
(30:11):
you have to change your lifestyle. And one of the
things you have to do change your lifestyle is to
keep moving. You got to keep your muscles up. I
gave you a we had a fun show sometimes back
where we sat. I showed you you can check how
you were aging by sending on one foot. If you
can send that ten seconds on one foot, you're doing
(30:31):
pretty good. Then try the other foot, you're doing pretty good.
If you're not doing that and you can't do that,
you need to talk to your doctor about what you
need to do to strengthen up your body. And that's
basically how most of those people fall, their body just
get weak, and it would probably be like the man
that we took to the hospital last week where he
(30:53):
you know, I don't we don't know what happened to
his bones. But everybody thought he was healthy and strong
because he was one of those guys, that one of
those macho men. But something happened. They don't know what
happened to him that he would fall and break all
those bones in his body. But remember, we did this show.
It was called a free Fall. I don't know if
(31:15):
you can see it, look like I put it up there.
I was breaking in there. You go. I did the
show first. He says, stay healthy and independent by checking
your wrist for a fall. And that's what we need
to do. Have you fallen in the past year, That's
the first thing my doctor asked me when I go
his office or a nurse, Have you fallen in the
(31:36):
last year or whatever? They know, he says, So be
careful and these are the things you got. There are
many steps you could take to parental fall, but these
are questions that tells you if you have a risk
of making a fall. I used to have it, says, uh.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I used to have.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I've been have I've been advised to use a cane.
Some people have been buying use a cane. Some people
they don't like to use a cane. But we have
one lady on them to come up on the dance floor.
She got a cane and she gets down. She dance
all evening with that cane. So don't be embarrassed or
think you getting old or out of it by if
somebody tell you you have a cane, just get a
(32:17):
real nice, sharp looking cane, one that look great, maybe
with a buffalo on there on the knob or whatever,
something to make you look like you are not sure
or whatever. But you got to do the things that work.
Get a cane. Get you a cane. If you figure
that you're having a problem, you may fall, it is better,
(32:37):
or you may have this question. Sometimes I feel unsteady
when I'm walking. If you feel unsteady when you walk,
and that's time to think note of that. Take note
of that. Sometimes I notice a difference in my walk,
and I love to walk. I love to walk. I
walk through or four times a week. I could walk
every day, but I think it would be too much.
But I love to walk. So when I walk, I walk,
(33:01):
I'll get my strength. When I first started walking, you
feel weak. After after five minutes, you feel good. You
feel wonderful after five minutes of walking. At first, that
first five minutes and maybe a little rough, but after
that your body gets into it and you feel frun
and you're building your keeping your strength up and your
balance up by walking, because when you walk, you use
(33:22):
all your muscles, so it works for you, all right.
Another question they want to ask you, I steady myself
by holding on the furture furniture when I walk through
the house. And you know you've seen people like that
they walking there, they're holding onto this wall, they're holding
onto a dresser or a chair or something like that.
And if you're doing that, you might need to think
(33:45):
about that. You might need to say, Look, you know,
I can't even walk from here to the kitchen without
holding a rabbit on something. And I'm worrying about that.
Talk to your doctor, see what he gotta say. And
if you are worried in your mind, like you're worried
about something, you know, let's say, when you start thinking
about something, you bring it on, you make it happen
(34:06):
by thinking it. Well, that's something you need to think
about too. Don't be worried about falling, worried about how
to get do the things they keep you from falling,
And they're very simple things they keep you from falling.
I don't know if I have time to give you
all the little exercises, but we'll do it on another show.
But here's another one. I need to push with my
(34:27):
hands to stand up from a chair. You can't get
out of a chair well unless unless you're pushing up,
pushing yourself up. Well, you should be able to just
do that and get about of the chair. I can
do it, like I say, you can do it too.
You can get it, but you have to do the
right things to keep your strength up. Keep your strength up.
You don't want to go to the independent system living
(34:50):
down there where they're slapping you upside the head cause
for whatever reason. No, I don't think they do that anyway.
But if you have to push yoursel up from a chair,
you should think about that. You want to get your
knees to work. You want to be if you fall,
You want to be able to get up. So keep
your knees and your joint work. Exercise them even when
(35:11):
you're setting down. Exercise them. Stand up you know, what
are you supposed to do? You know our routine we
stand up every twenty minutes. If we're setting down. Even
if we stand up in place, exercise, put on and
set back down. That's enough to work. And if you're
setting down, if you move around, you don't just sit still.
You can you can. You can tighten your muscles up
in your body. There's a lot of things you can do,
(35:34):
all right. Here's another one. I have some trouble stepping
on to a curve. And I've seen people do they
get to that curve if anybody's around, they're gonna grab you,
they gonna hold, so they step up on that curve.
That's the cause people have weak joints. Their knees are weak.
They can't they can't prop up on the curve. But
(35:55):
you can practice. Get you up. You can get a block.
You don't have to be as high as a curve,
but you can step up on it and step like
a step stool or something. Step up on it and
step down on it, step up on it and step
down on it, and exercise and strengthen your joints, your joints.
I do it all the time when I go to
step up on something. I love it because it gives
(36:16):
me a chance to strengthen my joints and also to
work with that. Okay, I don't know what this has
to do. It is that I often have to rush
to the toilet. Well we all do, I think, But
that's the consonant problem, a urine problem. But I don't
know why they put that in here. But then some
people say I've lost some feeling in my feet. I
(36:39):
don't know anything about that. I've never heard anyone say
anything like that before. But I guess people do. You
must have lost their feeling in their feet. But I
don't know how I feel, because that seems strange. I
will definitely go to the doctor on that one if
(36:59):
I if I lost any feeling in my feet. I
don't have no lost no feeling in my feet, and
my feet of fine or everything. My blood circle and
circulation down there is fine. If you have a problem
with that, what I do. If you set, when you're
sitting down, rotate your ankles and let knees and everything
give it some exercise so that you can bring circulate
(37:20):
the blood down there, and that's how you are circulated.
Just keep rotating your ain't your leg your feet around,
round in the circle, round in the circle, and it
helps your ankle. Okay, I take medicine that sometimes make
me feel light headed or more tired than usual. Tell
me about it. All of us do take that medicine
(37:42):
to make us feel tired, light headed. No, we're not
supposed to drive the car and all that stuff. And
it tells you on the package too. If that happens
to you, just be south, be still stopping until that run,
until the feeling goes away. What's the feeling the way
that you can move around. Some people may say they'll
(38:03):
take a medicine, they'll be light headed and they have
to go out. They may have to drive, or they
may have to do that's not good to do, so
make sure you make sure you realize that you should
not do that. Maybe that's not way to do. All right, Okay,
let's have another one here and talk about I take
medicine to help me sleep or improve my mood. Well,
(38:27):
I don't know what that has to do with falling,
but I guess it has something to do with to
take your medicine to help your sleep and improve your mood.
That's okay, that's one of the questions. And the other
last question is I often feel sad and depressed. Now,
if you have to feel sad and depressed, I could
(38:47):
understand why. That is why a lot of people, a
lot of seniors, because some people may not come to
visit them like they should. We don't have you know,
our kids may not show up for a long time.
They're busy. Some of them have left the country in
the state. So we have a lot of seniors who
sort of hitting it on their own, and their family
(39:10):
can't visit them as much as they would like to
to keep in touch with them, to let to let
them know things they should be doing, and to help
them out. Seniors need somebody around to help them out.
So if you don't do that, you need to develop
a friend, find a neighborhood friend. And there's always somebody
who wants to be a friend. I can tell you
that I'm in the neighborhood. There's always somebody who needed
(39:33):
to Because seniors, whenever they get a hold of you,
they't gonna talk to you. I mean they they can't
stop talking because they haven't been around people very much.
They want to talk, they want they're just glad that
you're there. So a lot of times we need to
go and check on our seniors, check on our senior
people in the family to make sure they're all right,
(39:55):
to make sure they have a lot of things that
they need, so you never know. Okay, Now, like I
said before, some people complain about, well, I can't have this,
I can't have that. I don't have no help here.
I don't have no help. But I've been explaining to
us all year long there are certain organizations, a senior
(40:17):
foundations that will help you, and you just have to
remember who they are, and they got a lot of them. Now,
I usually I get something from the State of California
that will tell me who they are. I don't have
it here today for this program, but I will have
it for loven. But right, okay, but before I get
(40:40):
into this, I was gonna tell you about a program.
This one is called Helping Hands. This can help you
do a lot of things. And I'll tell you more
about it in just a minute. Right now, I got
a call a call.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Of you there, Hey, Grandpa, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I'm doing real good and I'm trying to tell people
about falling, especially for seniors. They have a big problem
with that and I'm trying to tell them, and I've
already told them no many times. How to avoid that.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Well, I got a lot to say. So onely thing
I wanted to touch at his death is trivialized, especially
after you reach your senior years, because they say, oh,
he lived a good vice. You already said that, but
it's a trivial thing. It's just easy to say, well,
(41:29):
we don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 10 (41:31):
He was old.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Anyway, so that when you get to be in your
fifty or fifty five, you start taking up bone density
tests because like you were talking about the man who
fell down the stairs and all his body parts is
(41:56):
cracked up.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Maybe that's broken out.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Maybe he had maybe he had maybe he had uh
had surgery, so he had uh.
Speaker 10 (42:09):
Chemo, or he had uh radiation and and and it
made his bones news uh the density so and and
then there's the whole expression.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Right, So this guy was somebody like that too. He
was a macho man, but not taking care of himself. Right.
You know, even those people have problems.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Right, So if you six feet taller, you coming down hard.
So then you talked about Minnesota and Wisconsin being the
parts where people are really having problems well with the
new architecture that's available, where people are making inclines and declines,
(43:06):
and in those areas you have more ice to walk
on so you can slip and fall. Yeah, that's that's
that's probably attributed to that those cold areas are slipping
it from. Now here's that element. Let me talk about
this before you get me off that the curve. The curve. Okay,
(43:32):
I'll reverse for a moment. When you're walking upstairs, hold
on to the rail, hold on to the rail to
support yourself going up or downstairs. Yo, don't, don't, okay,
But now let me go back to the curve. Sometimes
you got to negotiate that curve. Now, there's a strange
(43:55):
phenomena about a curve that it has a thirty degree
in it if it's a sewage curve, if it's taking
in water. So when you step down, you're not stepping
down on level ground. You stepping on a You stepping
on a slant, and you can lose your balance coming
(44:18):
down off of that curve. Does that make sense probable?
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Yeah? You can. You can't because I know a lot
of people are nervous just stepping down like that.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, but the hold on too. But that's a level curve.
The level curve is one thing. The ground is level
when you hit it, but the sewage curve is slanted
so it can take the water in.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
So don't step down there, go go go all away
from that.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Well, but that's that's that's easier standing done because sometimes
you're not paying attention.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Yeah right, yeah, true, right.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Right, and if you fall on the ground, it's gonna
be hard. The other thing is like when you walk
in and you don't feel and you get to a
certain part, just stop for a minute, take thirty seconds,
take sixty seconds, and then start back up your walk.
Don't be don't rush yourself when you walk right And
(45:32):
sometimes sometimes I had a friend I would walk with
him and if there was a driveway, he would avoid
the driveway and walk on the level ground because the
driveway would be kilted.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yeah yeah, well hey, that's why that is. Anyway, I
thank you for calling and appreciate it. A lot of
good information there. We'll keep it right now. I'm gonna
I'm gonna give you the information to where you can
find help for you, all right, take care, okay, now,

wonderful senior organizations and foundations helping you do certain things.

have to do this alone with here's somebody here to

rent a place if you don't have a place, or
whatever it is. They do all of that inconstantance supplies
and health services. They cover health services and help you
in that medical equipment. If you need like a medical equipment,
I guess like rollers and canes. Like I was saying,

that VA benefits. They cover that and many other topics

Hands Senior Foundation. The phone number is ready, go get

that's an organization that can help you. They do a
lot of different things. If you need a place to live,
they even do that. They even't got place to live
(48:22):
for you. If you need a place to live, they'll
find a play, independent living, shared housing, assistant living, still,
lurts and facilities. They do all that for you. Call them.
