5. I got a handheld multi tool that has a small hoe and rake and I'm going to try that.

I don't think it will be back friendly, but it's worth a small try. I'm hiring my son to pull weeds starting Sat. I can hardly walk after a big weeding session then heavy back/leg work from PT. Usually PT always helps, it was such a surprise to be hurt by it. I could hardly even stand after the sessions. Doc confirmed this was very bad for lower back so she's sending me to a new PT. Hope they help this time! It really gripes me to not be able to just do it like I usually do, but getting old is a bitch, especially with my bad back and legs.

I understand. I found out that now that I have time to do what I want (78 this month), I can't because it all hurts. Wonder Why Jan 2025 #8
