Mowing ok?
 
I'm sorry if this has been discussed but I was planning to do some limited mowing with a riding mower. It's a 26 HP 52 inch so not a little mower but pretty smooth riding as those things go. It's the tractor kind not zero turn.

I do have some CRPS in my lower abdomen but it mainly affects the pelvic floor and lymph nodes in the upper groin/inner thigh area. Do you think it would be too much of a risk for spread if I mowed? I really need to do some of this over the summer.

Thanks,

Denise

I dunno....do you drive? How long can you take it before you have to stop?
It's hard to guess and it's hard to not try...:hug:

I agree that there is only one way to find out.

But I would suggest that you try for just a few minutes at a time, working your way up (slowly) to more time if all goes well.

I mow my lawn in 20 minute increments and I had to build up to that.

It's good to be able to do some chores, but gotta realize and work within your limitations!
