A Return to Mobility

I always had an annoying, sore knee for the past couple of years. A chiropractor told me the alignment of my spine was causing my right leg to appear shorter.

Legs can’t really be shorter but the tenderness following a dog walk was a constant reminder of my aging.

Every year, there seemed to be something else breaking down.

Like an old car.

This particular night, although my knee was sore and we did take a taxi to the restaurant for dinner, I didn’t think too much of walking the few blocks afterward to the concert venue.

There we sat for hours, enjoying City + Colour, a favourite Canadian band of ours. When we got up to leave, we realized we made an error in planning. There were no taxis available to take us downtown to the hotel. So we started walking.

Well. It was sore going, but I did it, never thinking what the repercussions may be the next day. Maybe a little tenderness?

Imagine my shock when I could not walk the next morning.
