Anti Fatigue Mat
My son brought me an anti fatigue mat from Amazon for Xmas. I love it, to pieces. As you all know that I love to cook but it was getting impossible to cook a real meal. Because, if I had to stand in the kitchen for more than 10 minutes my foot would hurt. I would even wear my Diabetic cushion shoes and it would still have my foot swollen the next day. I hated it and knew something had to change. It was either an anti fatigue mat or an stool to sit on while cooking.
Honestly, I was not really trying to do the stool, unless I had to. In my mind, it was like being in a wheelchair in the kitchen. I know that is silly but all I could see in my mind's eye was me sitting in a chair trying to cook and not being allowed to stand up. Well, at least not in the kitchen. Both of my legs work, I can walk and stand. So telling me not to stand in the kitchen...well it felt like, yet another thing was being taken away from me. And, I couldn't do anything to stop it. So I am so glad this mat worked. I will talk about, again on my podcast.... "The Arthritic Cook".
