Re: Standing Up.

Yes, easily, as a bricklayer you very often had to bend to the floor and sometimes even below it, and luckily I can still do that..

Re: Standing Up.

The side effects of doing this since my operation mean it's a "no" from me.
Unless I'm sitting on a bed, and then I can.

Re: Standing Up.

Yes I can .

A friend taught me to just hang down and gently go forward , then stand up and again bend forward and allow the body to go down again after the third time you'll find you may be able to actually touch yoes
