A Painful Mishap

I have arthritis in the back and a few days ago the pain travelled down to my left knee. I’ve been moving around more slowly but managing quite well. Even did some gardening today to get some exercise.
This afternoon I walked down the steps from the back door, took a pace along the path and TWANG. I felt my left knee give and made some comment that drowned in the pain.
The knee is swollen and hot. Short term, I hope. It’s a public holiday here and since the accident was not an emergency, a visit to a doctor would have cost more than a week’s food. I chose food.
To make walking easier I’ve been using a step stool as a walking frame. It works but I have to bend over to rest my hands on it. It’s not something I’d like people to see. My pride hurts nearly as much as my knee.
I have thirty or so emails from WA waiting forlornly in my inbox but they’ll stay unread, at least until the morning. I’m taking my pain-prone limb off to bed.
