Do 'YOU' Bury Your Head In The Sand? Please Dont!


Ok, Now I'm Greedy!!

Ok, now I'm being greedy, aren't I?
Cos you know, this stuff with my health!
Well it seems a respite isn't gona happen!
So now I'm in my coping mode, my stealth!
So you know I had that shoulder fixed?
Flipping heck, I jest you not,
I don't know if it was worth it to have it done,
Cos this pain is so bad, it hurts such a lot.

And once again, as previous in life,
I am not over one thing, but another pops up!
Oh but I asked my God in the dark of night,
To please ease my overflowing cup!
I thought that after this shoulder thing,
That would be it, all done!
I mean to say, at the end of the day...
This health treck of mine is no fun!

But then I got a little red mark,
Just a little way under my eye,
And I guess I didn't like the look of it,
So every day I would check...and that's why...
...Why it pays to be on the ball!
If there's something there that wasn't there,
To keep a close eye, and check it over,
And make sure to see if any changes occur.

And I guess mine changed, a tad,
So I kept a careful check more so,
Cos I don't like taking life for granted,
And there aint anywhere I'm in a hurry to go!
So just about 12 days ago,
I went to see my doctor, my GP,
And showed her the little ‘zit' thing,
So she could keep an eye on it too, for me!

From being a tiny red blemish...
And changing into a tiny ‘zit',
Then it went into 3 more!
And I guess I went sick, a bit!
So back to the doc 10 days later,
(Just 2 days ago, from now)
To show her this thing had grown,
From 1 zit, to three, and then to how it is now!

And how is it, you may wonder?
Well I guess it's like a red lumpy thing,
Between my nose and my eye!
Oh heck, I bet taking it off will sting!!
So there I am sitting quiet,
While she gets her magnifier out!
Looking and prodding, and checking,
Telling me this cancer had to come out!

So ok, I expected that word, I did,
Cos in the back of my mind; I knew,
And I know that is why I wouldn't wait,
To go back to show her how it had grew!
So now I have to have it removed!
‘Thank goodness for that!' Yells me!
I don't want an op, or skin graft,
But this is how it has got to be.

Now this thing, well it eats away,
All the good flesh that's around,
The bigger it goes untreated,
The more cancer there is to be found!
As for me now, I pray, oh I do,
That this thing is removed real quick!
Cos I have to say, I really mean it...
Knowing it's there, makes me feel sick!

Now I am not making a big deal out of this,
Cos only I know how I feel inside,
But the reason for spilling my tale to you,
Is to make you know, never run, never hide!
If you see something there that wasn't,
Don't bury your head in the sand!
Get it checked out right away like me,
And hopefully; death won't offer you a hand!
