Gardening

If I've said it once, I've said it 1685 times . . . "If you, your loved one or your patient is having a hard time doing something for themselves or getting somewhere on their own, we probably have an adaptive product to help."

Don't let hand weakness stop you from living your life or doing the things you love.  There are products specifically designed to allow you to get the job done even if you have a limited hand function - from gardening and golfing to cooking, playing cards or using scissors.  

I recently heard on the news that anxiety related doctor visits are on the rise.  Specifially, symptoms like upset stomach, insomnia, panic attacks and muscle aches.  They said that worries about the economy and personal financial turmoil are making people physically sick.  Is the economy making you sick?  If so, how can you be healthy when all you want to do is ignore your problems, eat a Whopper and drink yourself into oblivion?

Spring is springing and it's time to go play in the dirt, right? Not so fast, Marge. Gardening and lawn work will help you find muscles you didn't know you had if you're not physically ready for it. Especially if your winter routine didn't include a lot of bending, reaching and kneeling.

I love digging in the dirt, planting seeds and relishing the fruits of my labor just as much as the next gal, but nothing crumps me up faster than a few hours in the garden. My friend and co-worker Melissa swears that her mom's knee replacements were directly related to her years of gardening. I believe it. Kneeling and stretching and bending, oh my!
