Beware of the toys

Where there’s kids, toys are the main feature of the day but beware of the danger. Many accidents involving toys occur when people trip over them, especially Christmas Day when presents are scattered everywhere.

Patients undergoing cancer treatment are more at risk for osteoporosis and bones weakened from metastatic cancer can break or fracture. Extreme care needs to be taken not to trip over toys. Teach the kids how important it is to put toys away including balls and things with wheels especially before darkness.  You don’t want to lose your footing in the dark and go for a slide.

If you fall, let your medical team and your caregivers know. They might need to check you for injuries.
