The Grizzwells by Bill Schorr for September 23, 2023

At least, not in a CONTROLED way.

Down can be easy or hard depending on the method. Falling – simple gravity – not good. Bending to reach for something – creaky but doable. Kneeling – slow painful descent. Arising – the hard part = finding something to grasp with leverage that doesn’t hurt and doesn’t strain. And all accompanied by the music of the joints and grinding teeth, with maybe just a touch of certain ancient runes spoken just under hearing range.

A new knee makes getting down impossible!

Getting down to the floor is easy enough. All I have to do is fall. It’s getting up that’s problematic…

OK, but can you get down on a duck?

but do turtles suffer from road rage…?

get down, can’t get back up again

Then how do you walk?

Falling, I guess, is too easy and too dangerous for OldFolks (like me, Pops).

I can relate.

A simple fall will do it.
