There are times when some part of living alone is not so great. Simple household chores are no longer simple. One of the most difficult household duties is changing the bed linen. Men and women complain equally about this chore. It threatens their independence.
Here is my method: do it in steps. Pull the bedding off a piece at a time. Then sit down and get your breath while sipping some of the morning coffee. Go back and put the clean fitted lower sheet in place. Sit down again. Breathe deeply. Now back to the top covers replaced one at a time, or however strength permits.
Sound silly? Well, of course. But much better than putting your weak muscles to the test.
A solution: arrange a set day and time for a member of the family, or a friend, to help you. Or perhaps you are fortunate to have a cleaning lady on a regular schedule who can relieve you of that particular chore!
