First, so sorry to hear of your challenges. With respect to Japan, things are changing. Fewer are sitting in traditional ways. More chairs, more western-style beds. Fewer squat toilets, more Toto fancy ones! My in-laws and friends all have western-style beds and chairs. Your point is taken, but they are getting up in the old way less and less.

I wonder if you can contact your health professional via telehealth, or even by phone. Hoping you get better…
