Just for the record, I was told by my Neuro that Vacuuming or ANY kind of "push/pull" activity for a spinal patient was ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN. That goes for raking in the fall too!

He said that's one of the worst things a spinie can do!
So -- those jobs have to be "farmed out" to someone who is better suited to them. LOL
Just thought I'd pass that on. Hugs, Lee
