I’m 73, had both knees done - the left in Aug 2011 and the right in Jan 2012, I am 5’ tall weigh close to 190… Al though I can bend both knees, they remain somewhat stiff. Walking is fine, I just cannot get down on the floor because I can’t get back up without help. There’s only myself and my husband… if I should accidentally fall, like I did last time, and he’s not home, I need to be able to get up on my own. I’ll try as you suggest and see how I do… but that means I better have a sure fire way to get up, first! I’ll try leveraging the coffee table and planting my feet if your way is not successful… thank you for your suggestion!
