Hands are weak and painful
Recently the arthritis in my hands has meant I have to think of new ways of doing things. For instance I had to buy new kettle because it was too heavy for me to lift and pour. So many tasks are now difficult or impossible. So it would be good to hear any recommendations from anyone. I can’t clean my teeth properly with toothbrush so I’ve ordered an electric toothbrush but I’ve no idea if that idea will work. What do you think?

Welcome to the forum, @1943.
I understand that the arthritis in your hands is worsening and you are looking for tips to help with everyday tasks. You have downsized your kettle; you could also downsize the contents so that you only boil what you need for the job at hand. Less to lift and less cost.
