My Specialist And Me! Mistakes...My Specialist and me, we have a good laugh, That's Dear John, the Doc, and this poet here, Cath! He helps me so much to try and control this pain, To a level I can bear, so I don't go insane! I trust him with my life; we need to do that, So he can help me, cos my pain knocks me flat! So he does these procedures, epidurals in my spine, But this one went wrong, and I'm not feeling fine. It should have worked, should have helped my pain, But instead of that, I've been going insane. You see, it went a bit wrong, the epidural I mean, He pushed it too far in my spine, and wow did I scream! It punctured a hole in my spinal cord, I tell you true, I prayed for help from the LORD. But no respite came, no one would tell me why... ...What had happened, rather, they watched me cry. Oh I didn't cry out loud or scream, I couldn't you see, For the pressure pain in my head, was so bad for me. I've had two brain tumours; the skull had to go, And as you can imagine, or not, the pain, oh no! Yes, it was horrific, but I am telling you true, That didn't' come close to what I just went through! 14th November, 2011, a day I'll never forget, I wish it hadn't happened, my specialist too; I bet! He was sad, he apologised; ‘Cath, I'm so sorry!' he said. But I could hardly speak and couldn't move my head... ‘It isn't your fault!' I whispered, oh I was so full of pain... ‘It was just a glitch, they happen now and again!' But he put his head in his hands, he took all the blame. ‘No, it wasn't your fault!' I whispered, but he said the same! As he walked away, his head bent - looking so sad, I asked him why this head pain was so terribly bad! ‘Cath, it was the epidural, I pushed it too far in.' ‘I put a hole in the spinal cord, hence the mess you're in!' But I stand by what I say, and I mean it too! We all make mistakes, yes, every one of us do! So now this awful pain can't be helped any more, And in truth, it's far worse than it was before. But I expected that, because you see... 4 weeks later, he had to do it again to me! 2 epidurals, and the second one was to repair... The hole in my spinal cord - that still sat there! It was the most scared I have ever been... To go through that again, and yes, I did scream...! ...As he pushed that epidural in to a bad pain spot, I leave it you your imagination, the pain I've now got...
