The teacher at my gym class this week asked if we were all "injury free". Several members of about my age and stage laughed hollowly....

My right knee has been dodgy since I wobbled off my high heels carrying a large cider bag in a box down the path to the car in November. My left shoulder got better during my Pilates retreat in September, but now the right one has stiffened up! Both my next to big toes are numb and I have a touch of tennis elbow! My left knee gives the odd twinge and I must have hurt my thumb when I fell over skiing as that now aches in the cold. I think "injury free" might be a synonym for dead!!!
