Crutches, Walkers, Knee Wraps

Crutches, walkers, knee wraps, ankle wraps, wheelchairs, hot and icy.
Yes, I do have all of these things,  ice bags too, and I am not afraid to use them.
I have arthritis in my feet.  It is crazy how awful it can be to take a step sometimes and know
You cannot take another one. You have to have an assist to go one more stupid step.
I am always alert, aware, ready, as it happens more and more often lately, especially in stores.
With their hard concrete coming up to meet the bottom of your shoe.
I actually have two walkers, because I did not see the one with the seat
Until I had already bought the one without one.
And I never take anything back.
Our first baby had three buggies,
But that is another story
For another poem.

I know, and my shoulder hurts too. Do not get old all at once like I did, Maureen. Take your time.
