After reading Jeanette's plea I wracked my brain to think of a way to help her. I couldn't imagine having to stop glass work because I couldn't stand.
My first thought was of a parachute harness, or bungee harness suspended from the ceiling, with a heavy duty spring, on a track to enable her to move around.
Then I saw on overstock.com a chair style hammock, that comes with a stand. thought that may be a solution. and finally she may be able to go to a theatrical supply store/or warehouse, and find out about the contraptions used to make actors "fly". if they can make mere mortals 'fly', maybe they can help her take the pressure off her back and legs.
Hope one of these helps or inspires a solution...
