I'm really sorry you are hurt. Can you get a wheeled cart with shelves
and a place to put it out of the way? Pick through your stuff in the
shelves you can reach in your kitchen and put less used stuff higher
and use the space for more used stuff within reach?

I did that myself, emptied out a cabinet, put that stuff (I hardly
used) somewhere else, and put other things in that space.
Annoys me to rely on someone to get everyday things for me
from a high shelf.

Good luck with that. nancy
