Physical wreck

You can tell you're getting old when knocks, bumps and bruises just don't go away like they used to. This week, not only am I suffering with at least heavily bruised little finger and thumb on my right hand from cricket knocks, but my dodgy knee (also a legacy of cricket - 25 years bowling) has swollen like a balloon. I'm waiting for surgery on it which the 'doc reckons should happen within the next 12 months - until then I'll just have to limp.
