What if a fall does occur?
You should keep a phone or an alarm on the floor. This will make it easier for you to get help if the fall renders you unable to reach higher places. If the help is within hearing range, you should consider wearing a whistle. Also, you can have someone check up on you once a day and see if you need help. If you happen to fall when you are alone, follow these steps to get back into a standing position. 1. Lie down on your back. 2. Swing yourself onto your side 3. Use your hands and get into a sitting position. 4. Slowly crawl towards the nearest object that can support your weight. 5. Put your hands on the seat of the furniture or chair and space them apart. 6. Bring your best leg up, so your knee is close to your chest. 7.
