Post #6863076

Just wondering if anyone here suffers from COPD? My disease has gotten much worse in the past 2 years to the point that I can't walk across the yard and still manage to breathe. I am very frustrated and, it breaks my heart to see my gardens growing up in weeds. We (my partner & I) have no family, do not belong to a church, live in a very small town with no assistance groups like Boy Scouts, and no one affordable and knowledgeable to hire. For quite a few years my gardening was done sitting on my butt and scooting along but now even that doesn't seem possible. (Hard to explain to unexpected visitors why I had a brown butt.) I am trying to figure out how to get back to my gardens and still breathe (since that seems to be a necessity). Has anyone experienced the same problem?
