The Toilet Frame has Left the Kitchen.

In all the excitement of the aftermath of last Friday's long-awaited ortho appointment I completely forgot to tell you that I have my new folding stool for the kitchen. It is suitably drab but very comfortable: its seat is much like mine, broad and curved but, unlike mine, is grey. Its legs are also much like mine, skinny and white. Its four rubber feet are horseshoe-shaped, so that when I settle my delicate bulk upon it they spread and grip. It is, in fact, a shower stool (according to its label) but I care not, it folds and that is precisely what was required. I am pleased.

As we were buying it the lady said that she had just had a call from OT to ask if they could borrow it and that she would have to ring them back and say no. :shock: How do I know this hasn't been 'borrowed' before? We also asked if there was a new, boxed one we could have, ie one that hadn't been tried (or lent out). We were told no but no-one even went to look. I am of a mind to pop back in soon and see if another one has appeared. This thing cost £95 but it is purpose-built and should last me my drugs-contracted lifetime. Hurrah! DD

PS It's bl**dy hard to fold!

I am glad that you are now sorted with a seat that is both comfortable and useful. It will make chores in the kitchen once again a bit easier and this one is purpose built so will not let you down.

I did laugh at your description, you make the most boring pieces of equipment sound exciting

Have a good day

Love your description DD...
Least you will be able to sit in the kitchen now..I love my stool in the bathroom helps more than i realised lol
Can Mr DD be able to put the stool away for you when you have finished, save you struggling??.xx

Hello traluvie, it's nice to see you about! Mr DD is, alas, rarely here during the week. He tends to be out for at least fourteen hours a day so it's best I get on with learning/developing my own technique for collapsing (it, not me!) I am pleased with it, it is comfortable and it will make a difference. DD

I am so glad that you managed to get one, I do hope that it hasn't already lived a 'full life' :shock: :shock: Ooooh, imagine the tales it could tell :eek:
I should bloody hope it is a new one at that price...

Anyway, my dear Amigo, it is good to hear that it suits it's purpose for you. Long may it continue to do so..

I hope that you are doing ok today mi dear, how's the pain?

traluvie

The most important thing is that it is comfortable and makes a difference..
I am sure soon you will be a whizz kid at opening and closing the stool it will be just like clicking your fingers(well maybe not )
Arthur tests us at times to see how skillfull we really are..i think we surprise ourselves on how adaptful we can be.. 1 nil to us eh :P
