I had a fall today. I was holding a packet of pecans and looking to see if they were beyond their expiration date. I took a step at the same time and completely lost my balance. Fortunately, there was a chair behind me so I was able to catch myself, but I injured my calf somehow.
My balance has been getting worse. I suppose bipedal locomotion requires my full attention now. Or maybe I should ask my GP for forearm crutches. Or maybe I should tie a cold lavender pack around my leg and have a nap.
What's Up?
Reworked lyrics for Spoonies
3 years of illness and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For rehabilitation.
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the NHS is made up of this
Brotherhood of shrinks
For whatever that means.
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I look
Outside and I take a deep breath
And I get real high
And I whisper with the top of my strength
What's goin' on?
And I think hey-yeah-yeah-yeah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
Oooh, oo! ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo
Oooh! ooo-aah-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo Whats up?
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this situation
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For revolution
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I look
Outside and I take deep breath
And I get real high
And I whisper at the top of my strength
What's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
And I say hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey yea yea
I say hey! what's goin' on
Oooh, oo! ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo-ahh-haa
3 years of illness and my life is still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For rehabilitation
Oo-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo

What a great job on the lyrics!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about the fall and do so hope you aren't feeling any after effects of it. Often the next few days after a tumble are far worse than the actual fall and trying to keep oneself from being hurt during the fall actually does more damage than what might have been suffered otherwise. So glad a chair was there to break it for you instead of breaking YOU!
Hugs and kisses for your boos.....
Oh, I didn't even think of the fall being the reason I was so wiped out today. That makes me a lot less worried about barely being able to get up at 4.30 pm to get Sarey-beary's breakfast, after having gone to bed at an early hour.
