When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous. I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46. I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.

In response to your knitting question, I don't have a lot of great advice for learning on your own. Some knitters have suggested knittinghelp.com. But I took a class, because I needed someone there to walk me through it. But that's just me. There's a needle arts shop by my house, but any fabric/craft store like JoAnn's would probably have classes. I hope to take another class this spring, maybe mittens or hats or something like that. Good luck. Let me know when you get started. It's really fun, and I hope you think so, too.
I can totally realate!

:P
