To get up from a fall

There are no solutions. When Mom fell and she was home alone, she crawled like a baby to the bathroom and helped herself to get up grabbing the border of the sink.

It happened to me before last Dec 14 last year and then i slipped over into the backyard floor . I slept that night after i slipped over the floor . Thank God

Yes another older person to give you their hand..I will help you up

I wish there is a solution when one falls to the ground. Other than the embarrassment, the injury it can contribute can be bad

Oh my, I worry about my mother

Just have to be very careful. Always try to have something to hold onto. I always reminded my Dad to do this. Falls can be very traumatic.

It can be sad if one falls and no one there with them. I try to be so careful.

My mother in law has bad knees due to having bad hips that she waited on getting fixed it caused her to walk differently to avoid pain and it ruined her knees.

I fell on the ice last week. I couldn't get up. I was in my pyjamas and slippers, it was not a good time to step on the snowy verandah. The solution was to row myself backwards on the wet ground until I reached the door. Then my hubby heard me yelling and came and pulled me up. Falls happen and there comes a time when we just have to be extra careful. The first time I fell and discovered I could not get up by myself I crawled on my hands and knees to a small tree and hauled myself up on that. My husband was not within hearing distance. The biggest shock was not the fall but realising I could not get up. You have my full sympathy.

We can get things to wear now that can call for help. Some will do on their own

@allknowing I have fallen enough times but eventually got up most of the time on my own. When I needed assistance I would let others that I know help but if no one around I would sit for a little bit and then get up.

I don't see a solution, other than be careful.

There is an alarm button which one can wear at all times. Also never be without a phone in one's pocket.

I am totally relate to it , I'm seeing my granny pain and her situation. Hope the situation won't be worse for anyone

We taught some of the disabled I worked with to get to the nearest chair and pull/push themselves up. A good idea unless there are no chairs.

Falling and not being able to get up is a scary thought.

For me, the title seems having deep meaning. For me, it feels like falling from anxiety or having mental health. But I am working towards it now. Means going back up.
