GBBUDD, It is actually all one pond. It looks like 3 ponds because of the bridge and the rock that spans the pond. It is about 4000 gallons and 17 years old. I have a submerged pump that feeds into a Savio bio falls and an above ground pump that has a buried 30 gallon barrel with filter material in laundry bags which is gravity fed. It is fed back into the pond in an underwater pipe which creates a fun place for the fish to play!

Almost finished planting around the pond. Starting in April I begin to purchase pond plants.

So frustrating for you as you have so many things to do w/your hands. Hope the new cast will help ya

So hard dealing with only one arm! Had mine in a sling for months with rotator cuff surgery. Simple things like using a can opener and getting dressed become major tasks. Never getting surgery on the right arm!

Can't blow nose, forget ziplocks (teeth help) hard to get shirt on or off , forget easy pant pull up,
Opening caps nope, cutting veggies nope, on and on. My arm currently is bent at the elbow , fingers zero use, hurts to even try.


But managed to talk hubby through hooking up the big pond pump. UP and running yeah.

Stream has to wait till I can walk the steam and clean it.

Have a bunch of 3x t-shirts from Wal-Mart, easy to put on. Learned a lot when hubby had his right arm rotator surgery. Luckily, he had 24 hour nursing care- me!

My father inlaw broke his neck and his back he could move arms but not his hands. I made a velcro strap with a pocket that we would put like a fork with an extension on the handle. what i'[m trying to get at is try putting a piece of pine into the cast where it can hold a pepper while cutting etc

Doing 2x LG an xlg and only pull on Jammie unless leave house then those pull on pants like leggings sort of. Even then hard to get shirt on over soft splint and bent arm

Garbage bag great for getting shower and rubber band
