Frightened about things getting worse

Thanks, Jean. I do have a friend who could do this easily.
Much of my problem is that most of my shirts and turtlenecks, most of my pants have elastic waists that are hard to pull up. I have no front-opening shirts of pants which are easy to pull up.
I think I will have to go on Amazon and find inexpensive garments I can manage to put take off with one hand. Even socks are difficult.
Perhaps the O/T person can help me out with this. -
there are things that might help with socks, examples:
