   How very appropriate! I’ve been home for two days with back & knee pain. Doctor wrapped both my knees with Ace Bandages and gave me two pain pills. I look like a Black Bride of Frankenstein combined with the Mummy. I also purchased some Arnicare Cream for my sore joints. Hopefully soon the Joints will be Jumping once again! LOL!!

     I over-did it yesterday, not always using my crutches. By bedtime (6 a.m.) the foot was swollen and I woke up with it so painful I couldn’t step on it. NOT GOOD! So now I’m hobbling with the crutches and feeling sorry for myself.

       Take things slowly and I’m sure Ms. Foot and ankle will cooperate in due time. Be well.

   Wow, really great poem! I had a knee problem and every day I would stretch in spite of the pain, it got better but I often felt I was ‘on the edge of the agony.’ as you put it. Brilliant 😀

     Thanks, Andy. It’s definitely a challenge! I hope your knee is behaving itself these days!

       Most days it does 🙂 I think any injury comes with some difficulties though, even stubbed toes can ruin a perfectly good walk

   Whoo, sharp. “When you may need to run.” Don’t know if you meant it that way, but certainly seemed to carry a darker meaning. Neat!
