How to get up off the floor without using your knees

I have been asked to demonstrate how I do this: I can't get up from kneeling because I need a knee replacement (at time of filming the operation is tomorrow) so here's how I get round it!

You can follow my Knee replacement operation and rehab on my Facebook page here:

Most women would have made this into a 10 minute video. Bless you my dear lady.

Okay, I need you to know something. That was brilliant! I'm an extremely overweight person in the process of trying to better my health and my fear has always been to fall and not be able to get up. I have very bad knees and my therapist is trying to get me to get up and down on my knees and it's just not something I am comfortable with. This was amazing. Thank you thank you thank you. I did it

I needed to see this. I had knee surgery for a cracked kneecap yesterday. Don't plan of falling but this is great! For just pushing up from a chair or off edge of bed. Hope your recovery went well!

Thank you so much. This video will gladly be living rent free in my head.
My kneecap was dislocated three times, and I don't even bend my knee to pick something off the floor. If I ever need to get up, without pressuring my knee's, this is the answer. Thank you for showing it!

Cool. I'm renovating and much older, have to work at floor level often, and do find standing up rapidly a problem.

Thanks! I'll practice now. I had both knees replaced at the same time 11 years ago. I fell recently, then scooted on the floor to the couch and wriggled my back up onto the couch as I used my lower body, almost like a bridge to try to push. Then found myself struggling my clothes not going smoothly over the couch cushions. It was a nightmare. I'm trying this in the future.

Exactly what I used to do before getting each of my knees replaced. Exactly what I've done in the years since getting them replaced. At least they don't hurt when I'm standing or walking.

🎉that’s brilliant, as a lady of advancing years and not as nimble as I once was this is a great help.

Oh great, thanks, now THAT'S one I can definitely try, because you know as well as many of us how embarrassing it is when you CAN'T get up by yourself! I hope your knee replacement was everything you hoped it would be.

I’ll have to try that. As it is I have to crawl towards a counter or chair then use my arms to help lift myself off the floor

Torn meniscus 6 years ago, bs doctors want to cut out the torn cartilage .
Also got a CGM monitor a couple months ago . CGM monitor is the second useful thing i have gotten from a doctor .
First was an MRI .

I've had a bad knee for years, can't fully bend or straighten it, and this is more or less how I get up and down. Although I usually just trying to avoid getting down to begin with.

Ok. I love your video...I had 2 joint replacements, 2 knees and a hip. And im afraid to knell on my fake knees..also you aren't a skinny mini. So your video is more realistic for someone like me...thanks so much!!
