I took Kay to the vet this morning. She has been limping and having problems getting up and down since Tuesday. Naturally the first thing I suspected was osteo.
You can imagine my greyt relief diagnosed it as artritis. She took an x-ray and showed me the deterioration in the hip.
She will be on Previcox for the rest of her life and I suspect her traveling days are over. Any Greyhound gatherings I go to in the future will be without Kay and Jitterbug (Cpt. Whineypants has never been a good traveler).
I have been sleeping on the sofa or living room floor all week because I am afraid of Kay trying to jump on my bed. I'll be able to sleep in my bed again when Dorothy comes over and helps me take the mattress and springs off the frame.

anyway.. would Kay to a step to get onto and off of your bed? It might be easier than putting your mattress and box springs on the floor. If you haven't already done that, when you do... on your first morning out of bed, be careful of your ankles. I about stoved my legs being used to being a good deal higher. 
But then, I am not know for my *grace*.
