@dorisena There are exercises for every level, including chair exercises, if you search on YouTube. You mention being 85. You are only as old as you feel. You are obviously a fighter and will do well as soon as you are able. My husband is also 85 and although in the last year he has slowed down a bit, he's been outside blowing leaves off our lawn a few days a week for the last month, and does things that many people in their 70s don't do.
It sounds like you must have a massage chair or back pad -- nice! I gave one of those heating/massaging pads to an aunt once and she enjoyed it.

No, I don't have any equipment I can use. I do have an exercise machine with a full seat but since the knee surgeries I can't get one knee to bend enough to use it and trying over the years always leaves me in tears. I did garden and was amazingly successful, but I think I should be walking more and further which causes pressure and pain in my back. There is a metal brace implanted for five vertebrae.
I am so surprised that I can bend over and touch the ground. I can reach far enough to massage my legs and one shoulder, as both of them are painful. I managed to cut my toenails but was stiff and sore the next morning. I wish I could learn more about safe therapy for my back, but unfortunately surgeons don't specialize in after care, I have noticed. There is more to learn about keeping the aged fit,.
