Mary, I understand, as I am 89. household and garde duties be minimised. As an example I have a beautiful and colourful garde normally, but I have not weter or weeded any part of it for 3 years. It is a jungle, and I don't give a damn. Recovery from Peripheral-neuropathy is my compelling objective. Let the house be untidy, who cares, but hygiene must be kept. Just attck your situation Mary, and take it on as a challenge. The result is what counts. Best wishes.
