I have fallen twice in public with nothing nearby to use. Both times ppl came to
my rescue, and I was so grateful.
I rolled to a sitting up position, and two ppl, one on each side, hooked their hands
underneath my arms at the shoulders and were able to lift me.
Sometimes you need a person to face you, while putting their feet, against yours,
to keep you from sliding forward.
My dd has cerebral palsy and she said paramedics did this.
When I fall at home, although very difficult for me, I can sometimes do the "spider",
which is where you roll to face down, and use your arms and legs, spread out so push
against the floor, walking your feet and arms inward to raise your body until you are up.
Having fibromyalgia and not being a skinny-minnie, makes a fall a very difficult situation.
I saw things on the video that I cannot do, but I also gained some very useful information.
Thank you for this!
