Re: Prepping when ill or infirm
Very true re illness and getting older as well JM. We found the same thing when the husband got heart probs and I got ill too. Adapting always has to be the way forward, and you never hear of an old Rambo - or if you do, then they're found dead in their homes or sheds because nobody knew they were i...

I'd rather chew my own leg off than sew. I buy bulk packs of safety pins.

Another one here with a tiny kitchen - but I couldn't really manage to get into that space, I'd never get back up again if I got down there Plus there's the risk of forgetting about stuff and it going out of date. My kitchen is so awkward - really needs pulled out and started from scratch.
