I have never heard of anything like it!
Through the results of a wheelchair clash!
It's something out of a comic book!
Wheelchair-damage-whiplash!
In a car accident, yes of course,
That goes without saying there is no doubt!
But whiplash caused through a wheelchair?
Blimey, I think this is a new complaint just out!
You see, I was driving my wheelchair nicely,
When suddenly and without any warning!
I was thrown forward almost out of my chair!
I was in shock, and in pain, and calling!!!
…Calling for help, oh lord help me!
The pain that ripped through my spine,
Was nothing compared to the neck pain!
I was horrified and not feeling fine!
A taxi pulled up and out ran a man and woman,
To make sure that I was alright!
And sitting in pain, crying again…
I told them I'd had such a fright!
So then I went on about my morning,
Stopped at my friend's café for a coffee.
With people asking me over and again,
If I was ok, and what was wrong with me!
It seems I was as white as a sheet,
And the tears kept slipping from my eyes,
As the pain that I felt was 10 fold more...
Than I was used to, and not a surprise!
But the next morning when I awoke from sleep,
The pain in my neck was so much worse,
But on I plodded, cos no-one can help me,
You see, my bad spine is something of a curse!
Pain meds and rest is all I can do,
When my pain pops out of control as it does,
So I take them and put myself safely in bed,
No commotion, and I make no fuss.
Because this is my life, as it always is,
And as it will be forevermore,
So when anything happens, I leave it alone,
Cos of course, I know the score!
The score being nothing can help my bones,
For my spine and neck is a total mess,
So on I plod, and get through as I do,
I don't think its worth checking out; I guess.
So I left it, and for 10 long days,
The pain in my neck worsened at an alarming rate,
Then I woke up to the most horrific fear,
And I got myself into a fearfully upset state!
So my doctor sent me to hospital,
To see what it was that was wrong,
They saw me right away, and what they said;
Was that I shouldn't have left it so long!
I tend to put up with a hell of a lot,
Without visiting my GP…
I don't like to bother them, cos as I say,
This is just the way it is for me!
But the hospital were fantastic to me,
And told me I should have gone before!
And when asked why it was I hadn't…
I told them its cos I know the score.
But I was wrong, so very wrong!
Cos they did help me out this time!
With medication that sent me to mars,
And a little relief both good and fine!
So here I am at this moment…
Sitting, typing out all of my pain…
Trying to make some sense of it all!
Swearing no more mishaps in my chair again!!!
Not that it was my fault at all!
But the fault of the shoddy work on the street!
That brought about a terrible accident to me!
When it threw me from my wheelchair seat!!
Aint fair at all!!
If they do a job, it should be done well!
And not thrown together!!!
