Being a disabled baker

Baking is not the best profession for someone who cannot stand for long periods.

A few years ago, I was in two accidents that ended up seriously injuring my knees. Now, I cannot squat, kneel, or run. Even standing or walking for long periods, or walking up and down stairs too much is a challenge. The more I use my knees, the more inflamed they become.

One thing that helps is this barstool. It allows me to sit down, taking weight off my knees, while also being able to work at the counter.

It allows me to bake longer than standing alone.

Accommodations make a huge difference for disabled people. Even bakers.
