Like you, I cannot bend and stoop to look at fabrics. If I ever got down on the floor, I would need a lot of help to get up. I've had that happen to me in the grocery -- I got down on one knee to get something off a bottom shelf way in the back. When I tried to get up, I couldn't! It's rather frightening (it's the first time I've ever had anything like that happen). I'm not a really large person but it took two other women to help me up. I don't do that anymore!
