PN and Outdoor Seating?

What a difference those extra few inches in height can be! I hadn't needed one of those toilet boosters all through my PN years, but when sepsis struck last spring, compounding my leg weakness, I definitely benefitted from one of those boosters.

I'm no longer using one, but when I had my bathroom redone recently, I had a "normal person" commode put it, so I'm still getting a little boost.

But what about visiting friends? Or having to use a public toilet? Those booster seats have me conditioned: on getting up, I find myself reaching in vain for grab bars that aren't there.

Another of PN's many pleasantries! 🙂

I got one after my knee replacement and like it so well that I never took it out after recovery.

We made a mistake in our last home and ordered a 20 or 21 incher- kind of measured wrong. My husband had it picked for his 6’2” frame. There is a such thing as too high, your feet shouldn’t be dangling while you sit! We just learned to live with our mistake, but I learned to make sure I kept my business quick, as dangling feet for long can cause re-acclimation issues once I stand again.
