What are you trying to reac?
When I had my first back surgery, my girlfriend found this for me.
I think a secure step stool with rails might be a good investment. Also a "grabber" that you use to reach items out of reach. If you have kids or grandkids or neighborhood kids, you can pay them to help you manage chores you can't do yourself. Good luck!
To do exactly what?
If you are talking in yard, get a pole trimmer they have a branch cutter and a small saw for pruning. You can get telescoping lopper/pruners also. I use an old shower bench for doing stuff close to the ground.
Get someone to help you remove everything up high and put it down lower in the house. You might want to purge and donate things you no longer use to free up space
Might ask for a church volunteer to help reorganize a disabled home. Some have groups that also help seniors/disabled with yard work.
Senior & Disabled Services and Dept. of Aging do free home safety inspections to assess homes for potential fall, trip or other accidents, and make recommendation to improve your home for the disabled/aged. Also your local hospital home health ca n send an occupational therapist out after you come home from hospital to find solutions.
