Slam Rude Health Mum Slam God Dam the Matriarch Got Old Slam

True Story Today was Doctor's visit No 3 You see my Mum now struggles walking Where as 6 month's ago she walked more than me like she was 23 And 3 visits later seen by 3 different Doctor's Where are we at now ? She resembles her actual age of 70 rather than her old sprightly 23 She still work's a 5 day week 6am till 4pm Monday to Friday And yes she wants to carry on but unfortunately without medical help the game is up But after 3 visits with 3 different Doctor's she is no better off Confined to a walking stick and good Samaritans who help a temporary solution at best with 2 week's off with a Doctor's note Leaving armed with the knowledge nothing fixed the problem still persists Her employment sanity and independence at stake And after appointment and Doctor No 3 Not a single pill hope nor resolution to hang on 2 Might as well just have taken 2 Paracetamol as a Placebo Must be scary at 70 year's old when you ask but receive no help Because what is the alternative When there is no where left to turn next
