I Been Sick Again

It seems I've been sick again.
Got hit by a car last Jun.
Got no broken bones,
Was told to go home,
And sign up for physio soon.

Massive muscle damage diagnosed.
Pain pills, heat treatments, massage.
Special excercises needed,
My headaches are treated,
The treatments seem one big collage.

These treatments don't come cheap,
And each time I go I must pay.
Thank The Lord fir insurance,
To give me the assurance,
I need to get by day by day.

I saw a lawyer about it.
He said, NO PROB, KEEP IN TOUCH."
He's now a bill I must pay.
I'm hemorrhaging money each day.
This helps later but now not so much.

So bear with me my friends,
I been sick.
I'm sorry I've been so sporadic.
You all much think me nomadic.
I'm here and then gone and here and then gone,
You must think that I don't care a lick.

Valsa George Date: 12/12/2023 7:18:00 PM Hi Judy, so sad to hear all these. "When sorrows come, they come not in single spies but in battalions".... I remember Shakespeare's quote. Thank God, you have survived all these. God will give you strength to bear your problem and your husband's problem and find for you some funds to pay the hospital bills. Even vertigo can be so debilitating. I know what it is. Prayers for you dear one. Keep up your spirits ! Login to Reply

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 11/21/2023 3:13:00 PM I think we all know that things have been tough for you sweet Judy. My daughter was attacked by a dog, and in the hospital (happened a long time ago). The insurance company required a lawsuit, or they wouldn't pay, they wanted their money back. The attorney took a lot of the settlement, but happily the hospital bills were paid. I'm glad God's kept you alive through it all <3 I am remembering to pray for you. I too wish I could be on here more often. It makes me feel bad to be sporadic. I hope you get well soon.
