little to no strength in my arms and hands. I had to get
            my retirement age Mother to take the lid off a bottle of
            juice  yesterday.    I  still  can't  spray  any  kind  of  aerosol
            spray can (So I won't be able to continue painting all my
            socio-political,  graffiti  pieces,  which  keep  getting  made
            into  everything  from  greeting  cards  to  gift  mugs  &  no
            one even knows it ME doing them yet! ) I can't get in or
            out of the bath or shower.

           I  can't  get  down  onto  the  floor  or  up  off  the  floor  (or
            even a low seat.) I actually got stuck on a pouf earlier! At
            least I used to be, just about, able to grapple my way to
            an increasingly high seated position, by working from the
            floor to a pillow, from a pillow to a foot stool & so on,
            until I got to a point where I could stand up (if I made a
            noise like a trapped elephant and clamoured around with
            all the elegance of a turtle stuck upside down on its shell)
            but even that was still better than "Help! I've fallen! & I
            can't  get  up!"  Which  I  fear  might  soon  become  my
            catchphrase.
