Sorry to hear that. I’m a disabled veteran with severe heart disese, diabetes, edema, p.a.d., apnea, hypertension, etc., etc. If I could work I wouldn’t have these issues.

I hear ya. My wife has heart problems and asthma. That shouldn’t stop you. I empathize but I say this with a smile on my face remembering what my dad said to me. “do what you can”. There is a lot of stuff in that small phrase. I’ve used that on myself my whole life. I have short stools, tall stools and extra layers of cloth sewn on the rear of my work pants. I used to do gardening on my arse. I would drag myself backwards between the rows with my legs trailing. I now have a greenhouse we built that I can take my electric chair in and have aquaponics systems set up. We grow Tilapia in the tanks and veggies above.

You can do more than you think. Use your imagination and if you need any suggestion holler. I’ve been there and done that.
