Mistakes...We All Make Them!


I was in a mess so I went into hospital for help,
Now I'm more of a mess, and with every step, I yelp!
They tried to fix me, but only for a short while,
Cos I go in hospital often with this spine of mine!

But this time, well, it all went a bit wrong,
And I'm in hellish pain, and I'm usually strong!
But now this has finished me, my back is shot.
I always say; ‘we're stuck with what we've got!'

But what I've got is a heck of a mire of a mess...
If you see how I walk, you don't have to guess!
I can't put the pressure on my left or right side,
The pain is so horrendous, and hard to hide.

We visited my mum at her nursing home last night,
I sort of took a ‘Yankee stagger' as one might!
Now a ‘Yankee stagger' is slang for me,
It's a Liverpool saying for ‘wobbling' you see.

So I had this ‘Yankee stagger' and just like that,
The pain got worse, and I thought; ‘oh drat!'
I thought it was a flash in the pan and it'd go,
But it's just got worse, oh trust me, I know!

I realised before as hubby got me out of the car,
It's my sciatica! And it's gone, way too far!
You see, I go in hospital to help the pain,
But they had a glich, I can't have epidurals again!

So I'm sitting here now, in agony, yes I am truly,
As each movement I make, the pain goes through me!
I guess I've written it out, well, it seems so to me,
I didn't tell you what happened but it's like this, you see!

Mistakes...We All Make Them!
Some Have Detrimental Effects...
I Am That Detrimental Effect.

But It ‘Was' A Mistake!
Life Happens.
