I think 3 months, but I remember Donna saying that you were maybe just catching up on some, doesn't matter...your information is always welcome. Sounds like a good day today, I'm glad. :-) Cheri |

Not three years old, but I think it is older than three months. Then again, my memory is shot! |

One is for sitting and the other is for helping, conversing and fetching things for you. Try it! For me, I get all the ingredients out onto the counter(like a chef's mis in place) adn then perchon the adder and cut, mix, etc to my heart's content(and my back's ease). It greatly reduces the staning time for me. Wendy |

It > greatly reduces the staning time for me. When I was at my worst, I bought a sturdy bar stool. No back but it swivels. I could sit there for an hour or two at a time, although I did need to take some breaks because I really can't sit for that long, and cut up veggies and things. If need be, I could put it in front of the stove. Angela took a ball point pen or scissors or something to it (I forget now) when we lived in NY and punched a bunch of holes in the black seat. I then ordered a red cover for it from a restaurant supply house. Looks just like new! Angela has it now. She sits on it and spins. |

For me having a caregiver come and help prepare meals serves the double function of having someone to talk to, someone to listen to and to be listened to by. In my situation the regular counseling and contact with the outside world is as important as being able to stand to prepare meals. kind regards -- Quentin Grady ^ ^ / New Zealand, >#,#< [ / \ /\ "... and the blind dog was leading." http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/quentin |

It is very tolerant of what ever vegetables are available at the time. The difficult part for you would be getting the casserole dish out of the oven. You'd have to get someone else to do that for you. Sometimes I manage it myself. Sometimes I have to wait for Tricia to come home. It works for us. kind regards. -- Quentin Grady ^ ^ / New Zealand, >#,#< [ / \ /\ "... and the blind dog was leading." http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/quentin |
