I’m getting old!

Well i cna safely say that it is now official. No matter how much I try to fool myself I think it is about time that I am getting old and can’t do the things that I used to do.

http://www.elikortmedicalequipment.com/Hot%20Water%20Bottle.jpg I am currently sat at my desk, sat on a hot water bottle after successfully managing, to my great relief, to climb in and out of a hot bath. Why you ask yourself am I now sat on a hot water bottle. Well, while playing badminton I have pulled my left hip muscle and can hardly bend! I lunged for a short shot, that my brother played neatly of the net and twang! the muscle went!. Yes yes, before you all cry out I had done a bit of a warm up to start of with (obviously not enough).

So there I was at the end of what is normally a highly competitive and sweaty game of badminton, with a strapped forearm due to what I think is tennis elbow, limping along with a pulled buttock muscle! What a sight!

I think I have started to realise that I am not young any more and my body, at the present moment in time, might just be telling me to ease up a bit and take it easy. I suppose it happens to everyone eventually and now my time has arrived. Perhaps its time to take up a slightly less active sport, maybe stamp collecting or tapestry making.

Or perhaps I will just say hard luck body, cope with it…..badminton is booked for next week :)

Have fun!
