Sticky wickets

I kind of felt bad for this one poor lady today.

I was picking up one of the clients from his workshop today. I had to help him fix something that was on the floor, and I got up from the floor in my usual FibroWay (stiff, lumbering). The lady who is in charge of his group is about 50-something, and she said, "You look like me getting up from the floor! Bad knees will do that, huh?" I said, "Yeah, I have fibromyalgia. That's why I have a hard time doing stuff like that." She kind of got quiet and blushed. I think she felt bad, but it's not like I wear a sign on my head, y'know? That's why they call it an invisible disease. :P Lucky me!
