Ragdoll, don't sit to long, you could get blood clots, The Dr. says you should walk around a few min. every 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.
I have my cutting board on a piece of plywood and place it on a counter top. I got a long cabinet and drilled a couple of holes and place the plywood on top with a couple of holes in it and use bolts to fashen it down then place the place mat on top. This way when I have family or guest I can take it off and place it in the back of the cabinet out of the way and they will have more room.
