Pain and Stress, fatigue and depression
Level I check; these are just an impression
If a reading is high as I review my gauges
I’ll be sure to use my relaxation stages.
but you can’t just listen to your body
you also need to hear your heart
it’s important to take time for self reflection
after all, there is a mind – body connection
4 bad feelings follow chronic pain
but that makes sense. It’s all in the brain
sad, mad, scared, and guilt
now more manageable
since my security blanket
is now my security quilt
you gave me an O2 mask
and taught me how to wear it
now I need to use my smarts
and not just grin and bare it
shit happens in the city or the farm
oh well! Instead of damn it, I say darn
and if I need my shovel to get it all out
I’ll move it to the garden and watch beauty sprout
From bridging on the rubber ball
To stretching legs straight up the wall
With greater strength and range of motion
All through hard work, there is no potion
Mindi, Tiffany
Nancy and Lemons too
You have all changed my life
And this is my thank you
