But I Smile Anyway…

Well you know I had a doctor’s appointment today…

It was the idea of Chris, to write the diagnosis in verse!

Chris… I hope this is ok!

The Diagnosis

So I went to the doctor today

With a list of what I had to say

First shock of mine

I was seen on time

Looked like things were going my way!

* * *

Headaches the bane of my life

Constantly causing me strife

“It’s tension,” he said

Causing grief with my head

The joys of being working mother and wife!

* * *

Hayfever the next on my list

Tablets, eyedrops and nasal mist

To help me survive

The next month or five,

I think that you get my gist!

* * *

My heel has been ever so sore

Feel like I’ve been in a war

But it’s got a name,

Why I feel this pain

And now I can’t rhyme anymore!

And I still forgot to ask about my knee which has a reoccurring pain!

But the headaches, of which I have been betting many, appear to be tension based… I did ask the doctor whether I should tell Hubby Dearest that a day or two at a spa had been prescribed!

Hayfever, well that’s a bane of my life that had been there for many years. I have just learned to get on with things, as long as I have the right medications to hand!

My heel, now that’s a different matter.

I have what is known as Plantars Fasciitis. 

What?

Every time I get up in the morning, and put my foot down, I get a shooting pain in my heel, and it is painful to put any pressure on it. Even massaging it hurts. To touch it is agony, but I have to keep on going, I can;t allow it to stop me moving around!

Apparently this condition is really common among women, especially as they get, ahem, older. (Drat, I’m getting old!!!) It;s to do with a band of tissue under the sole of the foot thickening apparently.

There are injections that can be had, but my doctor is not a fan.  He has given me some exercises and massages to do to see if I can ease the pain.

So there you have it, the results of my doctors visit!

I’m going now…
