I've been a bit creaky here and there lately but didn't think much of it as I popped glucosamine. Last week, I had the odd feeling that sometimes my right knee downwards wasn't connected to the rest of my body. I'd turn but the lower leg wouldn't turn with me, giving my knee cap a sharp twinge.
The GP thought it could be wear and tear problems, given my age, but insisted that I take an X-ray, just to rule out that I didn't break anything. I couldn't have, I haven't fallen or anything.
So I had an X-ray done last week and popped back into the GP clinic today for the results.
"The good new is," he said, "you haven't broken anything."
"The bad news, hmmm," he hesitated.
So I filled in the blanks for him. "The bad news is that I'm an old lady, right?"
I have the beginning of bone spurs in the joint and am one step along the way to osteo-arthritis. You know, Old People Stuff.
I am now Officially Old.

Oh bum, that's bad news. I hope there's a way of slowing down the progress of the malady.
And I hope it won't mean the end of any more barge trips ... .
