Feeling sorry

Feeling sorry

At last, it’s become quite clear

It’s been a quarter of a year!

For this awful barotrauma

Think at last I’ve turned a corner!

As like you are - am very busy

Between commitments,

Work ties, been quite dizzy...

I’ve been prodded and poked

And at times quite provoked;

Looked at, checked, analyzed,

Spent much time taking your advice!

And now on closer inspection

It’s apparently been a nasty infection

Right in the middle and deep inside

(Given ear drops, lying on my side)

Heard strange noises in my head.

(Very weird when in bed)

Have been handed useless ‘scripts

Among other suggestions and futile bits!

Using some of your precious resources

To dig deep finding out the causes!

A client has taken care of me

Reversed role, when you’ve felt crappy...

And as for that daily ritual

Has now become so habitual!

Eyes, nose, ears, antihistamine

It really has been quite obscene!

A balloon blown up from my snout

Admit to feeling quite worn out!

I must now have the cleanest Eustachian -

Clear of any inflammation.

People have bought megaphones

All I’ve heard is tinny monotone!

But thank you so much NHS

For sorting out my ear hole mess.

Otitis media has been quite painful

Between the wind and the rainfall

The tears and not being able to hear

Just want it all to disappear.

Feeling sorry for myself...
