My health is like a jigsaw,
Pieces all over the place!
A little bit here, a little bit there,
Wow but it hits you in the face!
So I had to get a new doctor,
You see, cos I moved home,
And the other one was miles away,
Far too far to roam!
And I went into the doctor's room,
Sat there in my chair, as you do,
Then she turned to me, and said;
‘Catherine, I don't know what to do?'
Cos my medical list was on the screen,
Oh goodness golly me!
She was really shocked to be honest!
Cos that was something I could see!
So she said I have many problems,
That are complex and complicated;
I have to say, on a scale of 1 to 10
It's slightly underrated!
So I sat there with a smile on my face,
And told her not to worry or fret,
Cos though my body's fit for the bin,
I'm sure the hell not quite dead yet!
So this is how I explain it,
Cos people, even doctors get a surprise,
At the all of the complaints that I have!
But this kid here is so very wise!
Cos I know how to handle it,
And this is how I tell my tale,
So I tell them to sit nice and listen,
As I watch them visibly pale!
'It's a bit like a jigsaw,
Bits and pieces everywhere,
A few together, some apart,
Yep, they are scattered here and there!
And I add them to the jigsaw;
But mostly one by one…what a pain!
So you see, I'm used to it,
And I'm used to getting them again!'
So I continue with my logic,
And tell her what it is; 'you see,
You get the jigsaw in one hit!
And that's why you're concerned about me!
But there is nothing to worry about,
They are all well under control,
Cos I have to say, at the end of the day,
In my head I've got a ruddy big hole!'
And that seemed to be a problem to her,
But not to me; nope, not at all;
Cos that was from the 2 brain tumours,
(But I can't afford to fall!)
So she sat shocked and listened,
And nodded her head a lot,
Yep, I have to say it!
If I was a horse I would be shot!
So after I explained myself,
About the jigsaw being all over the place;
She nodded her head, and looked at me,
With a look of shock on her face!
But I told her not to worry,
Cos she will rare see me there!
For the only thing I go about;
Are my ears; cos I can hardly hear!
But then we have a problem.
It seems my heart's gone up the wall,
So she's gona write a letter,
To the heart doc, then give me a call!
So I guess I had my eye wiped today,
Bragging I never go to complain!
But I have to say, every time I do go;
They always find another problem again!
So it seems my heart's a bit iffy,
Well, it's been like that for years,
But lately it's got worse, but I didn't tell!
Cos ya know, I've had my fears!
So I told myself quite stupidly,
It was my arthritis being a pain!
But of course, I knew it wasn't,
So I had to see the doc once again!
So there you have my explanation,
About me and my jigsaw health!
But one thing that I can brag about is;
The love I have in my life, is my wealth!
For the choice between love and health,
Is no choice for me at all!
I'd rather have the wealth of love off my Rich;
Than all the good health! Nope, no contest at all!!!
So I shall fight on with my jigsaw life,
And smile to the Heavens each day;
And send my thanks to God for my life;
Every time I start to pray!
