I am guilty as charged too I try not to bend down and recently took out my reacher grabber from my hip surgery . My problem with bending is i have an all over muscle weakness do to steroids and if i bend from my knees and do not fall on them, i still dont' have the strength to get up. so really bad body mechanics too.
And my 16 pound dog likes to play tug of war on the leash too. I don't dare walk or bigger dog, Henry at 50 pounds!
