I have two knee replacements and can't kneel, hurts too much. I also don't have strong thigh muscles. If I'm on the ground, I can't use any of those ideas, but what I can do is scoot to a couch or bed and do a backbend up onto to piece of furniture and roll my body over onto the seat. I'm 5'8" and overweight and old, just fyi. I think my height helps a bit. I've used this process 6 or 8 times. It's a struggle, but it's better than waiting until someone can come and help you. Just thought I'd share.

Thank you gentlemen! I use those motions/techniques, I believe I’ve learned them from body mechanics classes in school( I was an RT for X-RAY, CT and MRI in human medicine for 21 years and then I changed my profession...I am a Veterinary MRI Technologist/Technical Coordinator for AnimalMR. Both jobs require the use of “good” body mechanics whether working with humans or animals. I work on the floor more often at the animal hospital than at an out patient facility for humans. I enjoy your PSA on how yo do something a certain way to make it easier on your body(like this message) I walk away from your videos with at least 2 new good ideas to apply in my life or someone I know. Thanks! I enjoy all of your hard wofk

Okay, now I'm sure you're psychic! Just last week, I was hoping you'd make a video about getting up after a fall. I do try to use this method, but it takes a long time, as I don't seem strong enough now, and knees are very painful. I don't think I should practice this to get stronger, as I may not be able to get up again. 🤪 More ideas on this would be very helpful! Great video! Thanks!

My problem is that the surface of my knees hurts terribly if I get down on them. I have no idea what causes it, but it really makes it difficult to get up. My husband and daughter came up with the idea of using a blow up bed to help me so that we don’t have to call 911 when I fall. They place the twin-size bed next to me on the floor and I roll onto the center. They then pump the bed up, I place my feet on the floor and stand up. It has saved us a lot of frustration! I am also in PT to strengthen my core, straighten my gait, and help my balance which has been off for several years following a craniotomy for a benign brain tumor. Thank you so much for these videos! They do help! Oh, and for reference, I am 70.

Just to add I did Aikido (where you spend about half your time getting on and off the floor) - we were taught that its better to use your knuckles instead of your palm. The reason is if you slip while transitioning you are much likely to break one of the small bones in your hand if you use your palm, but you will only skin/bruise your nuckles.

My grandpa has an alert system. He wears a little watch that looks like a fitbit. It has a base he can also push for help. The agency who provides it put a key box on the door. They are able to call 911, and give the EMT the key code. I'd also suggest if you have friends you talk to often, try to arrange a regular check in. For example if you don't call them by bedtime they know to check on you. You can stay in your home with a little outside help!
