Not much advice but I hope your pain is better. My aftermarket left knee isn't good. I carry a walking stick I salvaged from the burn pile. Longer than a cane (mine are about 5'-6' long), I can negotiate river and stream banks a bit easier. The steep banks are sometimes off limits. I still can't get down on both knees, though. Good luck and do the exercises. Those wonderful exercises.
ergo, bibamus.

On your down time work on strengthening your leg etc. Did you go to rehab after you surgery? Good luck, KEEP moving.

Cat catcher i was going to suggest those too. Light, collapse down to nothing, and some have a very nice grip. But if the bucket turned over isn't doing it not sure if the walking stick will help much more. At least everyone has a nice yard to practice with something in before they venture out and get in a pickle out in a field somewhere.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

On your down time work on strengthening your leg etc. Did you go to rehab after you surgery? Good luck, KEEP moving. I've been working hard at therapy trying to get back in shape by trapping season. Just haven't been enough time yet, coupled with my back. Lost alot of flexibility, but may gain some back in time. I do have a long walking stick as well as a cane. Doesn't work for me to get up.

Keep at it. Getting old isn't for the weak. I used to be able to climb mountains....now I have to steady myself to fart.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Short shovel with a d handle on one side a bucket on the other. Put the shovel in the bucket and away you go

I guess thats why you hear that old saying more often these days-"help,I've fallen and I cant get up".Every year gets tougher and tougher.Keep up the fight.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Try a 6 or 7 gallon bucket, taller but same diameter.
