>I only went as far as to practice lifting small objects with my toes, but that's not part of any preparations, I just prefer not to bend if I don't have to :). And also, turning off the light with my nose, and opening the door with my elbow when my hands are full. Don't try the latter in the US/UK and other countries with doorknobs.

Doorknobs are a PITA if your hands are full (or filthy because you've just been doing something messy/oily etc). Also not good when the children where small when the doors had the knob relatively high up and there was no lever to reach up on tiptoe to pull down.
