Then they braced my walker while I pulled myself up. I'm sure I was a sight to see.
I did not know until recently that you can call the fire department, and they will come help you get up if you have fallen.

That is exactly what we had to do, get a bunch of pillows and a stool and with all my might I pulled her up. I never want to do that again.
I am so sorry that you fell and had to feel yucky.
