Yep, It's Long...But Well Worth The Read!


...You'd Better Believe It…

Yep, I really have to say,
What I tell you now is true!
Cos one day I sat on me bed,
Oh the agony I went through!
You see, you'll hear me often talk about,
Osteoporosis and HRT!
I bring it up every chance I get,
For I want to tell what happened to me!

I had an operation when I was 30,
To try and put me right,
But it all went wrong, oh glory be,
And it gave me such a fright!
Years went by, I plodded on,
As only we women can do,
I mean, so I had lots of pain,
Let's face it, most of us do!

So me bones got outa control,
And one day my phone pealed out,
I picked it up to answer it,
Hell, you should have heard me shout!
The pain that shot through my body,
As I sat on me bed that morn,
It was absolutely indescribable,
And left me in agony and all forlorn!

Me mate shouted to me down the phone,
‘What the hell's happened to you?'
But in all honesty, I felt a fool,
Cos I didn't have a clue!
Well all that day, on the Saturday,
My pain was totally outa sight!
The pain, it scared me so!
And gave me such a fright!

And now my mission comes into play,
Why I preach about HRT…
Because of what happened as a result,
Of the operation they did to me!
A hysterectomy girls…!
When I was just 30 years old,
And that's what all this is about,
And why my tale must be told!

To answer the phone, I'll tell you true!
That day I sat on the bed,
The pain was caused through…wait for it!
A fractured spine, yes, that's what I said!
There I was in total shock,
I'd only sat on the bed, oh glory be,
But, yep, I'm telling you true!
You should have seen the state of me!

A fractured spine, can you believe that!
Through sitting on the bed!
And that is why I'm telling the tale,
Of what really must be said!
The cause!  I'll tell you the cause!
I'd had no HRT…
For they were missing from my body,
Because of the hysterectomy!

So the morel of this story girls,
Is don't slip through the net like me!
Cos if you have no hormones,
This is the result you'll see!
Now I have to tell you this though,
Don't worry one and all!
Cos it's only if they remove the lot!
That you could get this call!

So if it's a radical that you have,
And the hormones are vanished outa sight!
Get down the doctors really fast!
Don't live the nightmare I live both day and night!
No HRT equals Pain like nothing on earth!
And even possibly a wheelchair like me!
And a life forever in fear and doubt!
And all because, yep - no bloody HRT!

So get yourself on hormones!
Get on the HRT…
Don't end up in a bloody mess!
Just don't end up…like me!

Sheeesh, Would You Believe It?

You'd Better Believe It…!
