I can't do any physical work anymore, my muscles just tear if I over-extend them so I have to let other people do the bending and stretching, and digging, and painting. Every time the gardener comes to fix up something for me, I get all edgy about wanting to get down on my knees in the dirt, but if I did that, I'd be finished, and in bed for weeks afterwards. Horrible. I can still take walks, and do light housework, so I deal with what I can, and let other people do whatever it is that will hurt me if I do it.
To tell the truth, Aggie, I'm a bit gobsmacked myself that I can still do as much. I'm not sure how long it will last. There's still one area of the house to be tackled, and that's up the stairs and along the landing. The landing I can do, but getting up to the top of the stair-well I'm pretty sure is beyond me. I think I'm aware that a serious fall could well be the undoing of me!
BTW, I don't suppose you could send your gardener over to help me? My poor old garden has turned into a complete jungle (again) because I can only do one thing at a time.
