Don’t laugh so soon. I recently suffered extreme disability from what turned out to be two pinched nerves in my upper spine.

It left me unable to bend over (hip hurt like hell) to put my socks on or to even pick up something on the floor. This invention would have saved me a lot of pain trying to put on my socks, or even my shoes.

If one is disabled, inventions like this take on a new meaning if they work. That is what makes America so great - new ideas to solve old problems.

Next week, a couple shots of cortisone to try to relieve excruciating and crippling pain and muscle cramps. Eventually back/spine surgery to remove bone spurs.

At least with this device, I could go outside with my socks on my way to the doctor’s office/hospital and I wouldn’t be arrested for polluting the air.

Out of curiosity, would you have been able to sit like this to access your feet?
