Arthritic Knees

Dear Ice Cubes,

Thank you so much for making my knees feel better today.  It was so nice and sunny out that I could not help but go outside and rollerblade.  I used to rollerblade every week and it has been about four months since I last skated.  Despite the 18mph winds it was a wonderful skate and I'm super glad I went.  But, when I got back and sat down and took of the skates and started walking around, I realized my knees hurt a bit.  I tried leaving them straight on the coffee table, on the couch and I tried bending them on the floor but nothing worked.  Walking was difficult and my knees were super stiff.  So, ice cubes, thank you for sitting on my knees for twenty minutes while I ate my cheerios.  I may have felt like an old arthritic woman, but after those twenty minutes -man, my knees felt great.  So, ice cubes, keep it up.

Sincerely,

an young but old arthritic woman
