Happy Birthday. I hope the wheelchair makes your life much easier. You need a barstool-height chair for your kitchen .... cosco makes some good ones that have a couple of steps under the seat. Place in front of the sink or stove, wherever you spend the most time, and even if you don't sit on it, lean against it. I's a lifesaver when my husband's arthritic hip or my sciatica act up.
Yeah, my current one is corroding (it lives in an un-air-conditioned kitchen so gets exposed to a lot of summer humidity). It was my third I think (multiple moves). I'm now looking for a new one in my catalogs. As I mentioned, my problem is opposite of some. At 5'9", I get a back-ache from leaning over counters, sinks, stoves, that all feel to me like they are made for the average height woman, which I think is something like 5'3". I really feel for our 6' friends!That is on my list for this year. I saw one that has just one leg. You balance yourself and the height is adjustable. The one leg has a rubber cover on it to prevent sliding. I know the one you are talking about. I had a yellow one for years. I used it for ironing all the time. The steps fit right under the ironing board. They were my foot rest. When the seat wore out, I just took a pillow and held it on with a couple of elastics. When it finally broke down after years of good service, I had to toss it. It became a safety hazard. And I never replaced it.
The "old fashioned" Cosco one is still available from Amazon. After I pay off this months' bills it will be on my list. In bright red. I love bright red.
Happy Day, Addie. If Addie's birthday knows what's good for it, it WILL be a good one.
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great deay!!!
Have a happy birthday, Addie!
