Had my first fall yesterday; shattered my confidence re staying in my home alone. [View all]

I'm likely one of the eldest on DU.
Have been using a walker or two canes for a year or two. Shoulders are damaged so range of motion is limited. Can't lift arms above chest.
I only leave the house for doctors' appointments.
My adult children bring in and prepare my meals and assist otherwise as needed.
Fall occurred when arising from my desk chair at computer and legs buckled. Fairly soft landing
I was able to hang onto the desk long enough to pick up phone & call son & daughter; one called my neighbor who came immediately.
Daughter also arrived.
I'm fairly large/heavy -dead weight- and fire department was called to lift me.
Difficult decisions will have to be made.
Husband (deceased) was in nursing home seven years and other daughter lives in nursing care due to a stroke, so I've seen that scene and don't like what I saw. I'd find that way of life very disagreeable.
