Oh, I know, me too! No one would believe me this whole time about how hard it is to kneel too, without something soft under my knees. Now, if I fall down, it takes so long to brace myself for the pain of getting back up. And I'm afraid to use anyone's help for fear I'd make them fall down. I have fallen down so many times on my knees since 2000. But not many times at all since I moved to this location. Only this one time, I think. And I was thinking of calling the fire dept lol. To get me off the floor.
