Speeding through the day

Went to look at riser recliner chairs today as it's getting to the stage where I'm not able to lift my mum as often as she needs getting out of her chair to go to the toilet.

Many times lately I've suffered aches and weakness in joints as a result of the strain of lifting her and then supporting her while she gets her balance before walking to the commode.

On top of this is the mental anxiety of having to leave her sitting when she's sat straight back down again, knowing my own strength is being used up at each attempt. I have to walk away to cool down because it's frustrating and upsetting for both of us.

So I tried out one of these chairs and it was amazingly comfortable especially when reclined. Getting pushed to a standing position should help enormously too.

The next stage is getting mum to the shop so she can be measured up for one.

This blip was taken on our way back from going to look at them.
