    once you have your clothing handy by your bed and a reacher it's a snap. Be sure to have the walker there too. I wore clothing that went over my head, long dresses, or long skirts and tops that all went over my head so I could get dressed sitting down on the bed. in a couple of days you have a pretty nice routine and simple .

    I had no problem. I just wore loose clothes that were easy to put on. I sat down to dress which I found easier. I had slip on shoes too.
