I've Fallen and Can't Get Up--Need Advice

Helen you are not alone, I do it all the time, I just wiggle until I get to where I need to be rest and then move again.  It is just what I have to do.  No shame in my game.  Because I am at home alone during the day, so I have learned to fend for myself.  I am independent that way.  I just have to keep my floors clean

tellnhelen--u r not alone--i've learned to fall gracefully i've had so much practice at it--al you can do is try to get somewhere u can pull yourself up or just rest where u are until your body says ok---i don't take showers when nobody is at home though--haven't needed them yet but i don't want to lay there naked 'til someone decides to come home djax59

Oh my!  That must have been so frightening for you!  It is terrible that you even have to worry about this.  But maybe some sort of medical alert device might give you some peace of mind.  I did a quick search and here is a list of devices.

Please don't feel sad about yourself...we all need help sometimes.  I hope that this does not happen to you again.
