Look after your knees, and your legs will look after themselves.

We shouldn't take our legs or knees for granted, they're a wonderful thing.

They're really cool, until they start to sting.

I was walking down the road, when suddenly...

my leg stung like mad.

Seriously, it was that bad.

I couldn't put my leg on the ground, it hurt so much,

I really needed a crutch.

I had to grab hold of my son's arm and hobble down the street.

He was so sweet.

It's sad to say, but when your knees and legs are in a mess,

you don't know what to do for the best.

My hubby said it was probably cramp, but I'm not so sure,

 when your leg goes all wobbly and you nearly hit the floor.

________________

Although, I'm still hobbling slightly,

I'm feeling rather sprightly.

But I will share this secret with you.

Because, hey, that's what I do.

For the first time in my life I was a little fearful.

Because I suddenly realised that life is not a dress rehearsal.

I don't want my children to look after me.

I want them to live their own life and be free.

And in order to do that,

I'm going to have to stop my legs from going splat!
