   <p>One night while alone, the side of hip hurting and not working, had to use restroom. Beside getting off/on couch was near impossible, finally got to floor and Army crawled myself to rest room pulled up on toilets sidebar. Got it all in toilet, amazingly.</p>

      <p>How frustrating, <inline-mention username="harrjohn" user-id="3172834"/>. That was probably somewhat scary as well. I hope you never have to go through something like that again. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member) </p>

      <p>That is a fantastic idea, <inline-mention username="harrjohn" user-id="3172834"/>. It must give you a sense of security just to have it nearby in case you need it. - Lori (Team Member) </p>
