...but my dad fell back wards in a recliner he bounces up and down on to get out of. Only my frail mother was with him but since I have security cams all over their house I happened to log on to give a safety peek and there she was trying to get him up and out of the chair. They finally called the neighbor who came over and rescued them both. sigh.....

Glad your dad is OK!!
