2 Year Checkup

[Guest guest]

Congrats on an excellent report on your 2 yr. checkup, Cam!

I guess I can't quite understand the dishwasher thing. I understand how

you use your foot to push the bottom drawer in and close the door, but

how do you LOAD (or unload) the bottom drawer? This is something that I

will file away for future use. Right now the top drawer is all I can

manage without the grabber. Sometimes I can take out just dishes from

the bottom with the grabber. I also can remove the silverware holder

with the grabber right now and put the silverware away. But loading the

dishes, they're usually too wet and the grabber can't keep hold of

them. And forget pots and pans....too heavy.

Carol,

All I use my foot for is to roll the bottom tray in and out on the

dishwasher and to lift the door to close it.

When I first came home for a long while all I did too was load the top

tray. Then I progressed to doing a little plie and dropping the big

dishes into their slot on the bottom tray. Then when I got stong enough

to get up from a kneel...I would put all the dishes that needed to go

in the lower tray right on the counter over the dishwasher and kneel

down and load them from there. I could unload this way too. No bending

required...voila!

Of course I absolutely HATE unloading the dishwasher...it is my least

favorite chore. I was glad to get out of it for awhile.

Take Care, Cam

Hi Carol,Cam,

First of all, I only load, or unload the bottom shelf of the dishwasher if no one else is available. I do it by using the golfer's bend, and keep one hand on the counter. I get the silverware holder out the same way.
