To be scared to take dog for walk today?

I slipped on ice yesterday and fell backwards hard onto right hip, I’m in my 50s with osteoporosis and had a terrifying few minutes imagining ambulance hospital admission etc.
I was fine, a few aches today but really want to go out for a dog walk in the sunshine.
I always avoid pavements when it’s frosty and go along a trail, never fallen before so it’s shaken my confidence.
Have ordered yak tracks, anything I can do today to help?

If it's dangerous just skip today.

Google some mind stimulating games to play with dogs, let them in the garden. Do some training and scent work.

They'll be fine.

Do you have proper walking boots. A great investment when we had a dog, very grippy. Your safety is important.
