  • Something like this might work. They are kind of expensive, and some are better made than others, but they come in handy and maybe you could borrow one from somebody. A landscaping company might have something like this too that they use to get fruit off of trees, or maybe a fire department has something like it. Possibly a pond and aquarium store has some equipment that could work since they need nets and tools for plants and rocks, or tools used for feeding aquarium animals and fish. There are some home improvement stores that let you borrow tools or rent tools, shop vacs, long handled gutter cleaners or painting tools etc.

    Get your thyroid checked if you can, and rule out anemia too. Might also be a good idea to check for low vitamin D levels, that can also cause pain, fatigue, burnout, brain fog.

    It may be depression with ADHD, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but get your thyroid checked and other things.




  • My son had to go to a clinic and saw a Nurse Practitioner, this was about 12 years ago. He needed a prescription for asthma medicine and it wound up costing $500 and then it got reduced to $350 when I called and said that I couldn’t pay that all at once but I could make payments. I thought a urgent clinic and nurse practitioner would be much cheaper, but it was a rural area and there wasn’t a choice. The nurse only talked to him and there was no testing or labs done.

    Now we have some “minute clinics” if someone is lucky enough to live near where that is offered, and then there is telehealth that might be cheaper.
