Landlord (who lives on the property) is in some kind of mood today and has just complained that my front curtains aren't "white enough". Getting them down involves getting onto a ladder multiple times to unhook them. Has anyone tried a ladder 9 weeks post-op?

Unless you have someone to help you I would not get on ladder.

There is no way I would be getting up a ladder at 9 weeks post op. If you were to slip could be very nasty.

Part B later will be putting the hooks back in and getting them back up.
We don't really like letting the landlord just come in without the proper notice. Just because they live at the back of the property doesn't give them the right to just feel free to come in, hence why we didn't ask him. (We do let him or his family come through if it's raining ridiculously or something and easier for them to get to their place via ours, but we do have privacy rights.) Also, he's in a really thingy mood at the moment due to his mother being sick in another state, so best not to bug him. I think he's focusing on stupid things like curtains to take his mind off that.

Hope the curtains were made using pre washed fabric You would be amazed the number of times my wife Who is a curtain (drapes) maker has to remake curtains that have shrunk.
P S don't get up ladders and use your crutches when walking any distance

However, he is aware of my mobility issues. Like I said before, I think he's just fretting over the house to take his mind off his Mum. He just got back last week after being away for six weeks to look after her (she has terminal something). He's been gardening and doing house repairs like mad since he got back. I feel for him as my own mother passed away a few years ago from cancer and I know how frustrated I got at being interstate when key things happened. But I just hope he's not planning to take all his grief and frustration out on us.
We're doing our best under the circumstances, but are not even washing the floors at the moment. The whole house has hardwood flooring and it takes ages to dry and is slippery when wet, so it's off the housekeeping list right now. A rental "inspection" because he's trying to take his mind off more serious things is the last thing we need right now...

Why would you risk such a thing. There is a thing called Duty of Care and as he is the Landlord, he has legal responsibilities. If the worst should happen, and this went to court, then questions of "reasonableness" would be asked of him and "sound judgement" of you.
I would tell him to get a life. I am sure the kids on the street would have a more succinct way of putting it :-)
