We have a heavily weeded area we are trying to grass in. I have some big rocks to lug out; then we'll till it, add some soil from pile#3, and grass it. Hopefully 1st week of Sep will see new grass go in.
Pile #1 is a bit easier. It's just covering gravel. Spread it, level it, grass it. Still hard work.
The problem is these layoffs are tough to recover from. Jumping right into heavy yardwork is not easy when you get out of breath so easily.
I'm hoping to try some pick-up hockey this week too. That should just about kill me |

| | I played hockey tonight for the first time in almost two and a half years. I sucked badly, got toe-cramps, but it was a blast! No blood either.In fact, looking at my screen right now I can't find any floaters. Maybe the intensity jarred them looseż I'm sure they'll be back in the morning.
I started at 6.2. Drank 1/3 a gatorage, and I was 3.8 when I got off an hour later. No liver dump, Yay. Now I gotta be careful of hypos tonight |

I have found that the less stress that you have on your body the less chance that you will have on another eye bleed. Please get some help if you can as more hands make light work. I am an a avid bike rider who likes a challenge like climbing hills and I can get a eye bleed buy working hard!! You may have the go ahead from your doctor but the doctor don't know everything as most doctors are dumb!!

Interesting yeah I would suck too as I have a bike that's gathering cobwebs & dust and I was slow.
