Should I leave out my health report?
Well, as to that, let me retort
That matters of this sort
I cannot just abort,
Or posts will come to naught.
Though I have suffered tests galore
Todays exams will lead to more,
So I must just implore
Don’t see me out the door
If my heart out I tend to pour.
The meds I have are working fine,
But surely it’s not out of line
(Not in a way to whine
Just so the facts combine)
To say to sleep too much incline.
So further meds I now will add
To tackle problems that I’ve had;
Not following a fad
To deal with stuff that’s bad
But something that should make me glad.
More scans and tests I now will need,
So yet again they’ll make me bleed,
They do the needle deed
So smoothly, it’s agreed,
At painlessness they do succeed.
Apart from all this health stuff, including the monthly Calcium drip, I collected R and J from school; J from hockey practice which she did in spite of a strained ankle. She has been chosen to play in a match on Thursday. R was supposed to do squad swimming, but has been out-of-sorts the past few days, so abstained.

Here’s hoping those blood tests will reveal that all is well and that fatigue is simply part of the process. I am on a catch up this morning, so perhaps as you read this you may already have the results.

My problem with poetry can be summarized thus . . . so, are you well/better or not-so-good/worse? Or, in health limbo? I can’t tell.

The verse merely chooses to reveal that I am inclined to be unduly tired, and have some aches issues for which more tests are needed. I didn’t go into detail. I was bemoaning the testing inconvenience.

Hope you are feeling better! Testing always takes ages! Hehe! disperser l was also wondering about that!

At least the testing will enable me to exploit my feeling of lassitude. I can doze while they do their scans!
I hope a solution can be found for the loss in balance. It interferes with my fondness for climbing things and leaping around over rough territory,

OK, then. Hope it’s just regular old age stuff.

Old people! They’re so touchy, don’t you agree? Emotionally, they seem to revert to teenagers levels.
“Am not!”
“Are too!”
“Am not! I’m going now; it’s time for my nap.”
