Hobbling

I hobbled to the river Which was worth each step of pain. My bench and sunshine beckoned So my walk was not in vain. The early hour guaranteed No crowds would block my views; The sparkle of the water Would be something sad to lose. There’s not a single thing right now, While sitting, that I lack But a better knee would help When I begin my hobble back.

A better knee - a great wish for you my friend. "The early hour guaranteed No crowds would block my views; The sparkle of the water Would be something sad to lose." This is sweetly penned.

Some folks have hobbies. Others - hobblies. Oh, well...

Oh, I see you, too, get visits from Arthur Itis. I wondered when you would return to your bench.

Nothing worse Ilene, but they do say keep it moving. Hope you're better soon. Tom

"Use it or lose it" is a tough call sometimes, but in the years to come, you will be glad you used it! Try exercising in a swimming pool or jacuzzi to strengthen muscles without the weight liability! Aloha! Rico
