While I am short enough that getting onto a bar stool with good knees was hard, after I messed up my knees it was nearly impossible. Good thing I never hung out in bars!

I pretty much had to dress standing - not advisable for someone with balance and mobility problems. Those beds are DANGEROUS! I'm surprised no one has gotten hurt from trying to get on them.
