Lately my feet have been dragging
My right knee is almost worn down
Saw doctor about a replacement
Seems I am not ready now
A year has gone by marked by COVID19
Knee hears unconventional drumbeat
Its pops and crackles create a weird tune
Without any rhythm at all
Lately I've listened to this cry of alarm
Made an appointment to have things checked out
Began exploring possible treatments
Tiptoeing to my marching song
I knew today that I'm moving on
When I was beginning to wonder
How to check my walker on an airplane
A sign my old zest has returned

I have knee and ankle problems from sprains and tears.
I commiserate.
Still, the fact you wrote a poem about it means your old self ain’t so old!
Sending best wishes!
Thanks, dear Resa. I’m sorry you have similar pains – and you design fantastical gowns!
So glad your zest has returned enough for you to start planning your gallivanting!
Thanks, Dale. I’ve got a ways to go but that will also be an adventure.
I’m glad to hear that zest is coming back Ina š
