Ow! Ow!! Ow!!!

I’ve taken a week off. More or less. From my usual routine. I’m learning to live. With a painful hamstring. Not the result of walking too much. But most likely from hauling stuff from my attic. Thereby requiring more than the usual trips up and down a ladder. With armfuls of heavy clutter. Maybe in my younger days I could have handled it all with aplomb.  And no injury. No pain. Like a prancing gazelle. Now I'm told it’ll take 6 to 8 weeks. To heal. Completely. And properly. Strange thing. It’s less painful. Walking. Slowly. Gingerly. Rather than seated at my computer. Writing. While enduring. Muscle spasms. Known as Charlie horses. Ow! Ow!! Ow!!! --Jim Broede
