No longer requires a doctor--my DS and DDIL got me one for Mother's Day off the internet, cost about $30; I believe they found it on Amazon. DDIL has had one for years, back then had to get it through her doctor, and was a couple hundred dollars!

I think REMOVING stuff would make my area better!

DH just finished my sewing space for me. So it all makes my body happier.

But the main things is a good chair, and having the U shaped work space so moves do not stress my body. I am loving it!

An old drafting table that is adjustable to a taller height and flat--it's in the middle of the room so I can walk around it. I'm asking Santa for a new drafting chair (high back, rolling,swivel and no arms) and plan to get a new lower table to sew on so I don't hunch over so much. Some one at my church makes "corn bags" that serve like a heat pad and in sizes that you can put between you and chair back--which helps with shoulders! Our quilt guild uses 12" long PVC pipe to slip on the legs of the folding tables to raise them for cutting--cheaper than bed risers, too!

Hello, I am also interested in learning more about your hand unit for your machine.

I just bought this same unit, but have not put it together yet! Just got it in! Yeah, I thought $99 with free shipping to my house was pretty good, and I really like the looks of it. I'm excited, too, but not looking forward to assembling it. However, I have put together Sauder units before and they are really easy! Enjoy your new cabinet - I'm sure I will, too!

It's $60 cheaper then the Amazon price and free shipping to your house. It has a door with 2 shelves, another door with plastic compartments , a leaf that makes the cabinet 60 inches long when open and a shelf underneath to put a machine on. Can you tell I'm excited.

This isn't my post, but I also did post about this unit. Bought it and it is waiting to be assembled. Here is the link to it:

I have put a gypsy sit upon that I found at a quilter's yard sale on my office chair and I really like it. It has some give and seems to help with the back pain.
