Thanks for those ideas. I had mentioned a handled grabber and he complained he can't carry one around with him. Putting one in several rooms is a great idea!! I'll be doing that.

As for garden kneelers, do you mean the flat pads? And do you get down on your knees? He's got bad knees so going on his knees isn't great for him.

He's having a really hard time accepting limitations - he's always been very active. I'm trying to make things as easy for him while stressing the importance of not bending and lifting. I know he's still doing things he's not supposed to. I thought learning he had two new fractures would do it but he's still having a hard time with it.

Yes, I mean the flat cushion kneelers. I have bad knees, too, but the cushioning makes kneeling pain free for me-but he may have different issues. I hope, like me, he would feel so much more empowered and independent with those tools. I know that I do. I am only 65 and an very active. I hike 6 miles a day, work with a trainer, and practice Tai Chi.
