Is My Finger Broken Or Is It Arthritis
Is my finger broken or has arthritis set in?
It’s swollen, pink, sore and no longer thin.
The nurse asked if I fell. I say no.
Then I remembered the day of the snow.
I fell on concrete steps. If hurt a great deal.
It happened at work, but here is my real…
I went through workman’s comp a long time ago.
With every claim the answer was no.
They would not pay most of my bills.
Not for the wheelchair or for the pills.
Two thousand dollars that accident cost me.
Yes, at home last month, I lied to Nurse Bee.
