Taking care of my Mom and getting things to her house and/or work require me to often, if not always,carry a second bag- a carry-all, if you will.
Well, this over 50 body says carry this **expletive deleted**.....as I was walking up the hill to the bus yesterday morning, my left hip started burning. Made it through work yesterday, only to have Mom again last night, and what else?...another bag to carry. This morning, same path to the bus, same burn in the hip. In fact, as I type this, I have a small pillow bent over behind my left hip to relieve some of the pain.I also gulped two Aleve down with my coffee, so hopefully that will also kick in. I guess after sixteen, yes SIXTEEN years of carrying a book-bag, and then 27 years on a job that had me lugging a bag more times than not, well, I think it's time for me to practice what I preach. I often tell my friends to listen to their bodies. Well, mine says, the pack mule days are done!

get a backpack on wheels then when you get on the bus you can take it on by the handle/strap. Take it out of the car and wheel it into your Mom's house. Just a thought. I don't have one but I thought it might be a good idea Jeanne
