If you get really bothered by it I suppose you could sit on the floor to scoop it all up into a bag or something.
I can't sit on the floor because if I do, I've no way to get up. I got caught that way yesterday. I was determined to clean out the bird cage, and managed to do it by kneeling on the floor - I can actually kneel in the new air cast, which I couldn't do with the original hard casts. This was great.
Then I realized that once kneeling, I couldn't get up. You can't just hop on one foot from a kneeling position to standing. Not without levitation.
Took me a while to figure out what to do. I eventually walked on my knees over to an obliging chair where I could hitch my hip up and pushing myself onto the seat. Then I could reach for my crutches.
Undignified, yes, but no one was watching except the budgies.
I might be able to use a little stool I have, though, if I can find a way to get the stool to the kitchen....
