Hey Folks, A friend of ours was having back pain while washing dishes or doing anything at the kitchen counter. It seemed to be related to bending over and reaching into the sink. I gave her a plastic wash basin to fill with water and set on the counter top to wash her dishes in rather than bending over the sink! This solved the problem for her. She also was having balance problems leaning over to find items/pans in her lower kitchen cabinets. Falling was a concern so I installed pull-out shelves in her lower cabinets to replace the stationary shelves and hung a can rack on the back of a closet door so that she could easily reach canned goods. Sometimes things can be made so much easier if we stop and take a look at ways to do it differently. Hugs, Gail
