Sock aid how-to: sit down, slide the sock on with the heel at the bottom, drop the aid to the floor by its cords, slip your foot in and pull. No bending forward. Practise before surgery. More hip kit tips: https://t.co/uo16SMkakN #HipReplacement #DressingAids

Rollator seat rule: stop on flat ground, lock both brakes, and back up against a wall before you sit. And never be pushed while sitting on it. A rollator isn't a wheelchair. More walker and rollator basics:

Rollator or walker? 🚶 A standard walker is the most stable, but you lift it with each step. A rollator is easier to push and has a seat, but it's for balance, not for leaning your weight on. Our plain-language guide, with handle-height tips:

Sunday football means jersey, socks and sneakers. 🏈 If bending is the hard part, a sock aid, a long-handled shoe horn and no-tie laces get you dressed and on the couch before kickoff. Our guide: https://t.co/ooOez09jSK

Good Sunday! ☀️ Easy weekend project: measure for a raised toilet seat. Sit on a firm chair with your feet flat and measure floor to the back of your knee. Then measure the bowl without its seat. The gap is roughly the raise you need. https://t.co/CsdEqH1wRY #GoodSunday

#SaturdayVibes start with an easy, steady way out of bed. ☀️

Sitting on the edge, your knees should be about level with your hips. A well-fitted bed assist rail gives you a handhold, and a leg lifter strap helps you get your legs in.

Cats figured it out long ago: standing in water is overrated. 🐱 #Caturday

If standing to wash is the hard part, a shower chair is often enough. If stepping over the tub wall is the problem, a transfer bench lets you sit outside the tub and slide in.

Happy Friyay! 🍳 Weekend brunch should feel fun, not like a fight with the cutting board.

Cooking with one hand is mostly about holding things still. A spiked prep board, non-slip matting and a rocker knife do a lot of the work.

The new Tesla Roadster can flip in midair. 🚀 Our kind of flying is closer to the ground: grabbing the top-shelf mug or a dropped sock without bending or a step stool.

A good reacher makes ordinary days feel lighter: https://t.co/bw78PjeISX #Tesla #Roadster
