Mission completed - Faucet installed
It took about 3.5 hours but we have a new kitchen faucet, one of those hose pullout jobs to replace the old, basic faucet which gave its all since the kids were, well, kids.
We had bought this tool for doing the work of one of those sink wrenches. It worked well as it is large enough for me to grasp and exhibit some control over while turning it.
Even my weak side could turn the fittings using that to both remove the old faucet and put in the new one.
Trying to fit two arms into the cabinet when you have spasticity in the arm is a challenge which sometimes took several tries to get all the body parts in the right location. Finding you have to try again because you have no idea how your arm ended up *over there* is no longer a frustration event, I'm over that at this point. Just a sigh and start again.
Had to call the wife to help a few times, mostly hold things in place while I started the threads. At one point I did consider calling to her as I stuck on my back in the cabinet and couldn't get out. But I still have some dignity left and while it took several minutes, I did finally get out and upright again. I expect I'll sleep well tonight.
