Sounds fun, but not safer. I had a trampoline as a kid and had so many injuries myself, plus all the injuries other people got jumping on just our trampoline!

Hey I still have carpet where the chair is that I sit at night. At least there's padding there.

It is a helpless feeling. I usually don't let my husband know while I'm on the floor, I just wait to be able to get myself back up then tell him later. Unless I really need his help. Poor guy has back problems already though.

I guess I should figure out what kind of assistive device I should be using. My poor husband shouldn't have to pick me up off the floor.

I know I will have to deal with it, I just dread being treated the way I was when I had to use a walker for a while five years ago. People just assumed that because I was so young that I didn't need it.

Even employees at some stores treated me horrible.

Thank you everyone for your caring words and support!
