Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Welcome to the club. Yeah, what a great club to be a part of. Trying to be sarcastic. I love how supportive everyone is, but I so wish I wasn't a part of this group, if you know what I mean. As far as gardening goes, I will be waiting to hear too. I have tried to get out there and take care of my weed patch, but I am beginning to realize that the gardens that I used to enjoy planting. The gardens that I used to enjoy looking at. The gardens that well, will probably never be again. The pain and exhaustion that comes with having them, just isn't worth it. I am going to try and convince my hubby to help me this year. I know he will. I am going to get rid of the annual flower beds that I have and put in something that is less work. Not sure what that will be yet, but I will find something.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 HI Mac, and welcome!! Gardening...one of my loves...I look at my perennial garden on my bad days and want to cry. I'm just going to load up on Vicodin this weekend (if it doesn't rain) and go to it. I love to garden and yes, it is frustrating to not be able to just throw yourself down on the ground and go to it. I have been having to do it in bits the last few years....and I don't like it. You have to live with it though and try not to overdo when you have a good day. Hope your back eases up. Hugs, /Mi New to the site-Back Pain HI, I am MAC and I am new to the site. I have been experiencing back pain horribly the last few weeks. Saw the Dr. yedterday and I have some pinched nerves(numb right foot). Any way if any one has any suggestions for making life easier I would appreciate it(smiles). Anyone with suggestions for easier gardening I would love to hear it. I hate when I have flares that really slows me down. Trying to say positive and avoid the depression.
