    Thank you all for your replies. I did have them waxed but can't always get an appointment. So with all your suggestions in mind I tried taping my razor to long handled brush worked Hurrah now if we could just have some Sun could get my legs out

    Surely you have husbands or partners. My wife used to do everything for me when I couldn't bend and I would happily do the same.

      No husband, partner or friend to do these things could hire a Gigli tho lol

      managed everything else by myself except the garden could ask him but might be embarrassed!

    Thanks to discussion here, i have managed to shave my own legs for 1st time since op 3.5 weeks ago! I taped my razor to a long handled kids paintbrush (masking tape worked well), sat in a chair and managed really easily!! Once again, thankyou all for great tips and support! This site has been a godsend!! 😀😀

      I did mine too 😆. Did all myself except for knee to ankle on operated leg which my other half did for me. May try tying it to shoehorn or pole next time. Ahhh it feels good. 😊
