More Poetry and Report on Knee Woes

This if for my grandson and his friend:


Hating Skating – Part 2
Written by my grandma (again)


Though skating’s not my game
I’ll join in just the same
But only when I’m good and ready.

I will not go by force
But money works, of course
As does coaxing by my friend, Eddie.

Riding my bike is fun
And swimming in the sun
I can think of other things to do.

Than skating at the rink
It’s boring, so I think
But if friends are going, I will too!


He asked me if I was going to write a part three. Answer: Nope

Report on my knee injury: The orthopedic doctor took x-rays and thinks I have arthritis in my knees, although I could have some torn cartilage. He aspirated the fluid off my knee and gave me a shot of cortisone in it. Ouch! A friend asked me how big the needle was. Answer: I didn’t look! (I don’t think she knows my history of fainting when it comes to needles puncturing the skin). I also have some anti-inflammatory drugs to take and will be going to physical therapy for a few times to learn how to do some strengthening exercises. If it is has not improved in six weeks, he will order an MRI. It feels much better today but it still hurts when it catches. No more time for now but I should have a cat story tomorrow. How’s that for anticipation?

Are publishing companies beating down your door yet for your poetry writing skills? They will be soon, I'm quite sure. Hope your knee gets better and better each day.
