I can't "like that post". But, I can empathize, even if I've never seen it that bad. Take it slow. This is a "heart attack" situation. Hospitals are often flooded with cardiac patients after snow storms. Platelets are at their "stickiest" in the morning, setting many folks up for a heart attack or stroke when they engage in the heavy work of snow removal. Poor body mechanics and the tendency to hold the breath when doing a lift elicits a ValSalva response, resulting in very high blood pressure. How do you eat an elephant? "one bite at a time". Take it slow, and if needed hire a bull dozer or front end loader to come in and clean you out.

we share the work if it gets to be too much. today Mom did a part and then i finished up. we both love the exercise.
