Wear and Tear

I've got aches and pains and chills and blains,
Arthritis, Bursitis and more.
If it weren't for this darn Sciatica,
I'm sure it would hurt even more.

I have dizzy spells, sometimes I hear bells,
I see colors and floaters galore.
Can't move my left shoulder, guess I'm getting older,
I can't find a place that ain't sore.

One thing keeps me going and that is just knowing,
That it isn't all in my head.
This pain is a blessing though fortitude testing,
It's a sure sign I'm not dead...…..

Yet

Lindsay Laurie Date: 9/17/2019 7:09:00 PM Humorous Judy … you are right. If you can feel the pain you're still living and that's a good thing in many ways - thanks Judy - Lindsay Login to Reply

Paul Callus Date: 9/16/2019 2:56:00 PM I love the humour in your words, Judy. One of the best ways to counter aches and pains is to be positive. Keep smiling :) Blessings // paul Login to Reply Judy Ball Date: 9/16/2019 5:35:00 PM Thanks so much Paul. God Bless, JB

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/15/2019 6:54:00 PM That last word was quite the humorous finishing touch, Judy. All MY problems stem from a doctor who got me sick on the stuff he had me take. I did not even need it!! I feel for ya, it sucks to have health issues. Love your cute attitude through it all. Login to Reply Judy Ball Date: 9/15/2019 9:27:00 PM Thanks so much Andrea. My heart goes out to you. If you can't trust your doctor who can you trust. God Bless, JB
