like you its getting to know what works i still volunteer to work for 2 to 3 hours each week

Alan, I'm so glad you posted about the shoveling. I assume you sort of bend a little at the waist when you shovel? I have a terrible time breathing when when I bend -- maybe something about the diaphragm??
It is so weird, you are right -- to sometimes be ok -- and sometimes not be able to put one foot in front of the other.
It is so nice that you are volunteering -- so heartwarming to hear of things like this!!
