He called it universal restrictions, so pretty close to the anterior restrictions. The 90 degree rule is more lax but I am still following it somewhat, just not being obsessive about it (which I would have been if I had to follow it)! I don't know about bending to pick up a dog dish and putting it down again. I don't think I would be able to do it, quite honestly. How will your dogs get walked?n What kind do you have? Whoever walks the dogs can just feed and give water when they come.
You mentioned trying to accumulate time off from work. Won't you be able to go out on disability? I know that the rate is not great, but from what I know, they used whatever time I had in sick/personal and then disability insurance kicks in (not that I received any money from them yet). I didn't have any sick time because I have to use it all by the end of the school year. We can no longer carry anytime past that, so I was down to 0. I think I had one personal day they used. You have time to look into that, usually through the Human Resources Dept.
