I'm 31 years old and I feel your pain. I blew out my knee in an accident when I was 25. I've had RA in both my knees almost 7 years. My hips and ankles are bad too. I hate getting down on the floor. I completed understand what you are going through. I'm curious about that new method too.
Whenever I have to baste something, I employ my hubby and kids when I can. Otherwise, I take everything to my club meeting at a church and use the tables there.
