How a little step stool can help after a fall

Well after many years spent falling a step stool has recently become a real lifesaver as it's something I use to get myself up off the floor. That is why I keep a few step stools located in certain areas around our apartment. So if I fall I know I can simply navigate towards the closest one and this is where all the fun begins!

So once I drag myself to the closest stool I will eventually maneuver my body in a way which allows me to get up in a seated position on the stool. This gets me up off the floor in a much better position to move on to the next step.

This is when I will have a kitchen chair placed directly behind me. At that point I gather up all my strength to get myself up onto the chair. Which then allows me to take a moment to rest and relax now being in the best position to get myself back up.

Next up it's searching for something sturdy to push off of that is close by. In our place that happens to be our kitchen table. Once facing the kitchen table I will attempt to stand while quickly placing both my hands on top of the table to provide myself with the support I need to get back up onto my feet. Then it's mission accomplished.

Now while this method works for me it might not for everybody. I simply share my method of getting up with the hope it helps others looking for ways to get themselves back up after suffering a fall.
