Deploying New Technology

My new hat, new sunglasses, and new crutches

After a couple of shots at cooking whilst hobbling around on one crutch, we were brainstorming other possibilities -- and the notion of a casters-equipped, height-adjustable bar stool came up. I could scoot around on it, both hands available, do prep, watch things on the stove, even load/unload the dishwasher. But where would you ever get such a thing?

Ha! One search on the internet brought Linda to http://www.sourcemedicalequipment.com/, where they have a vast array of "task chairs." I have a deluxe version on its way, complete with a big height range, foot rest, special hard-floor casters, multi-port fuel injection, and the ability to run on premium unleaded, biodiesel, or leftover Riesling. Cain't hardly wait.

Meanwhile, situation with hip improves day to day, somewhat slowly. I may actually be back "at work," although virtually, not literally, as early as next week.
