@contentandwell Walking sticks/hiking poles! Walked with them a lot last fall when bursitis kicked up. I use the adjustable sort with a sharp tip for soft surfaces that can be covered by a rubber cap for pavement walking. You dan't need anything fancy or expensive, just something like these: https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/82200013/trekking-poles---1-pair?ch=pla&cm_mmc=GooglePLA-_-non_brand_PLA_Gear_Desktop-_-82200013_Desktop-_-0220013900000000&color=Yellow&cvo_campaign=non_brand_PLA_Gear_Desktop&cvosrc=cse.google.0220013900000000&gclid=CjwKCAjwqpP2BRBTEiwAfpiD-z0xYTOHZXuEdSFVqqAexyDhfiMp1C2FENglDDzrWTuK-IjRQEUJMxoC-G4QAvD_BwE&sizeType=Regular&sp=1&size=ONE%20SIZE
As for the plants, call your favorite place and ask if they'll do a phone order, or let you come in and shop before regular hours as an "at risk" person... For more of a plant/garden discussion, why not jump over and join us on https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lets-talk-about-gardens/

@sueinmn I actually have a single hiking pole that I bought to use at our rustic property in Maine. The terrain there is very rough. I don't think it would help much though with the hill on my street, I would still need to be bending in the same way and that is what causes my bursitis to flare.
I am so bad about plants that if they had online inventories I could do that, but I really don't know what I want to purchase so I do need to browse a bit. I would like to confer with my gardening friend whose husband is currently going through treatment for pancreatic cancer but I haven't heard from here in a while and she hasn't responded to a couple of voicemails I have left so now I am worried.
