Help I've Fallen and Can't Get Up

So the freezing rain arrived yesterday afternoon and continued overnight into this morning. And I, under the impression that it had warmed up enough this afternoon and was starting to melt, walked outside to a layer of pure ice and sure enough, slid, slid some more, got my balance and slid again .... and again. Then scraped the ice off my car, turned and attempted to go back inside my home, slipped and fell, landing on my rear end, hurting mostly my pride.

The impact made quite a thud. I sure hope that the frozen ground is ok. Imagine having me unexpectedly fall on top of you.

The tricky part was trying to get back on my feet. 

I don't want to be one of those actors' doing commercials for medical alert devices while pleading: "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up."  I'm not sure it would have been a routine task had I been 18 years old. I should ask the neighbors to check their security cam. Could be a viral video there.
