Folks, A coupla' ma'buddies have a hard time standing up from sittin'' in a chair. They rock forward, hold the arm rests and try to stand. More times than not they fall back into the seat. Weakness and balance problems often require them to try a coupla times to get up. I slipped a 2 by 6 board under their reclinin'' chair's legs [in one case and under sofa legs in another case] ...and PRESTO...they were able to stand with only one try. Victory and self reliance feels good. Think about anyone who might be helped by this simple solution. I went to Home Depot and got scraps of 2 by 6 boards [ really 1 1/2 X 5 1/2] for less than a dollar. That 1 and 1/2 inches to raise a chair or sofa put them back on the road to independence.
