Yes. I walk my dog every day 1.5 miles along the river and tend to my property; gardens, orchards, chickens. I spent the last few weeks chopping wood because I wasnt sure how long my recovery would take and I wanted to be sure I had cured firewood for the winter. I also tilled and planted most of my gardens the last week. I had to stop going to kungfu last year when the pain became intolerable. Looking forward to finding a taichi or kigong community to start with this year.
