    I never worried much about "coolness" when I was a kid. I didn't mind looking uncool, being uncool. I was one of the social outcasts, so there wasn't much I could do to raise my cool factor, no matter what I did.

    Never saw those when I was a kid. I would have used them, gladly. I was going to use a heavy duty rubber band, but could never find one when I wanted it.

    Re: getting up from the floor. If this is not a problem for you now, keep doing the things that let you be able to do this. This is definitely a case of use it or lose it. I broke my wrist 11 years ago at age 52. It took a year to get all the function back. I will never take mobility for...
