Hi Patches,

I only have one tip, and it may or may not be helpful to you. I use a
pair of tongs when I'm accessing a shelf that's close, but not quite
close enough. I was inspired by my mom, who had terrible bursitis,
and who took boxes of cereal, etc. from the top shelf by snagging the
boxtop with a cooking fork and taking them down that way. That may be
helpful when you're navigating the lower cabinets, as well.

I hope I've helped, even just a little. I'll keep thinking. I can't
begin to imagine your frustration, especially with the power cooking
you do.

Peace,
Carol
