I absolutely cannot stand for long anymore. I went to a yard sale given by
a lady friend and she had a laboratory stool, just like an office chair but
a tad higher and with wheels. That is my cooking chair. When I have to
stand at the stove anymore, I sit on that chair. It is attractive looking,
clean, and it rolls right out of the way when I need to move quickly for
this or that. Standing too long on my feet makes me exhausted and my legs
hurt. That chair has really helped.
