This is most likely an impossible question to answer. However, when you find yourself in the flat position on the floor, are there any tricks or hints to getting yourself on your feet again? I fell this morning, and luckily no injury. However, my husband and I had a hard time figuring out how to get me up. We managed to get me in a sitting position, but from there it was a challenge. He could certainly put his arms under my armpits and lift, but that is too painful. Luckily, we were near the stairs going down, so I scooted myself to the edge and put my feet on the second step down. I grabbed the railing with one hand and Larry's arm with the other. It worked. I was standing on the stair.
If the stairs had not been there, I'm not sure what we would have done. Are there any tricks or hints people have, other than calling 911?
