@lorrainecb What @ellerbracke does sounds pretty much the same as what I do. I turn over onto my stomach, stretch out and walk my legs up as far as I can, then I can push myself up with my hands/arms.
I am also at the same age, 73. Unless you have very little strength in your arms this will probably work for you.
I hate that I really cannot kneel without falling forward unless I can brace myself by holding onto something. I do not recall my doctor saying no kneeling but I need to send a message to his NP who is great, and I will check that with her.
