The Pain of Getting Old

Tweet

I woke up this morning, my right knee was really swollen and feeling tight on the inside. It really doesn't hurt per say, just that uncomfortable tightness. I figure it's the ole' "water on the knee" thing that older folks get. It seems to come-n-go tho. Then, since I like to crochet and can do it for hours at a time, my left upper arm hurts. Now this IS like the muscles actually hurt a bit, this too I can live with. I've not crocheted for a couple weeks, and my upper arm still want's to hurt a bit. No, it does not keep me from doing everyday things, it's just a nagging muscle hurt. This started a couple months ago, when I sat and crocheted all day long, literally. Never knew I was using muscles in my upper arm for just simple crocheting! I tell you.... it hurts to get old! None of this happened before last year. Seems like only in the past year, I've begun to fall apart! And I'm only 60..... still young enough to be reasonably active.
