Melody/Frances,
Go onto Amazon and buy the "sock helper". It's 10 bucks U.S. and pulls them on for you . No more calling in the hubby or a friends put the sock on your foot for you! It's amazing. Really works. I use it every day and I didn't even have Posterior surgery that limits how far down I can bend right now. But it is the best $10 I've spend on anything other than the satchel for my walker that carries my "stuff" and my Diet Cokes (or bloody Mary's on Saturdays) don't splash!

Hi Judy, I appreciate my shower every day now and also the ceremonial removal of the TED socks daily too ~ freedom 😄. The tape is still hanging in there! Today will be my first outing although I sat out on the terrace in sunshine yesterday, hallelujah. Snow’s gone so the park awaits. Going for scar work gentle massage on Monday, I am lucky to have a good bunch of people who I can trust and who have kept me going physically (mentally too I suspect) and helped me delay surgery.
If you’re ever back in Edinburgh send me a message but meantime thx for your advice and humour, the world needs more laughter 🤗 Frances x
