I went out to do some shopping today. Was in fine fettle and skipping along from shop to shop. Had visited about three and then went to the supermarket for milk and stuff. I was just approaching the store when - BAMB! - that old 'grit in the shoe' thing hit my knee. I was struggling - how I could have used a pair of crutches right then! I was leaning on walls to help myself put one foot in front of another. A man, must have been 85, stood back to let me pass and the sympathy on his face - humiliating!
In the store I availed myself of the electric cart and got my supplies. just a couple of bags but told the cashier I would need help, someone to carry them out to my car. A young lady arrived and duly loaded herself with my shopping. I took the cart back and went to reclaim my deposit for it but when I got out of the cart - I found my knee was fine again! I was soooo embarrassed! I mean, how could I admit it?
So I 'pretend hobbled' all the way to the car. And the young lass was so helpful and kind. I felt awful!
Oh what an embarrassment!
