I am an OT(altho I no longer practice in "real life"), and my husband is a PT. We worked/work primarily in home health. We used to assess and teach fall prevention/safety with our non-bedbound patients and their families. Included in that was teaching a person/family how to safely get off of the floor.
You might want to consult a PT for a one or two time instructional visit to assess and teach you. They may even be able to give you easily done activities to help maintain/improve the function you currently have so falls are not so frequent. Knowledge is power!
I am sorry this happened.
