KNEES, PLEASE

There comes a time for some of us when your knees tell us

they've had enough. They hurt. Getting around isn't as easy

as it used to be. The question is, how to deal with it?

After a lot of fuss, you use a cane if for no other reason than

to keep your balance. Your equilibrium.

There's a word for it. Life isn't what it used to be. Hanging

in there isn't easy. That's the way things are leaving you

hopefully to grin and bare it.

A cane comes next to help you keep your balance.

Falling down isn't an option.

Then two canes to ease the pressure on your knees.

Put it off as long as you can because the thought

of a walker is next makes you/me feel vulnerable,

even weak in the knees.

Author's advice: Whatever you do, keep up your sense

of humor. If you're lucky enough to have one. Show others

the knees might be a pain in the butt but the rest of you is

working just fine.
