bobby, i do have lower back and hip problems if
standing long periods. for that reason, we go to
resturants like mid afternoon.
if i run into lines unexpectantly, i ask for
accommodation. i wentto get plates for my truck last
week and i had to ask for accommodation becouse of the
line. what to do if i get my back or hips out. there
is not much that helps. i usually end up laying on the
floor. of course, after hours  on the floor, my
shoulders are sore. can't win.
