Adapt

Dear Diary,

This sort of reminds me of The Princess and the Pea.  I have had to put a couple of pillows on my little sofa so I can get up without experiencing awful pain in my hip.  It works pretty well when I can shoo Emerson off that is.  He thinks he is the Grand Poopah sitting there!  

I guess as you age you find yourself adapting to new realities.  I know that when I get back from my trip I will have to see an orthopedic doctor about it but for now all I need is a little elevation.  A new sofa will also help but that will have to wait too.  For now, the pillows work and Emerson is enjoying his new elevated status.  I'm just thankful that walking and climbing stairs is no problem.  I have a lot of walking to do next month!
