Yesterday, my dear Mother paid for new glasses for my cataracts;

That is how a very giving mother acts.

Today, I am having a CAT-scan of my brain;

I’ve had them many times before; so I know it won’t cause me any pain.

I am also getting checked out for my endocrine system;

The doctors will tell me about it, so that I can gain some wisdom.

It is important to know about one’s physical and mental health;

To be knowledgeable about yourself gives you wealth.

My man and myself are being picked up at 10:30;

I washed my hair, so that I can make sure that I’m not dirty.

Today is my older sister’s birthday, but we don’t really get along;

I love it when my Mom calls on my birthday and sings me a “Happy Birthday” song.

In the past; when my man had his birthday; I had my Mom call him and sing him the song as well;

I think that helped to make his day swell.

Birthdays have always been very special in my family;

Ask anyone in my family, and each one will agree.

I think I’ll e-mail my sister and wish her a good day;

But, I don’t think I’ll have anything left to say.

We are two very different people; not very alike in any way;

But, I still hope that she and her family are O.K.

It is now April 21st, and yesterday was a very long day;

I’m sure my brain is fine, but I have problems in other ways.

The doctor was pretty sure that my anti-depressants are making me sick;

My mental doctor may have to take another pick;

Of prescription pills that will be good for both my body and my brain;

And that comfort me when I’m in psychological pain.

I am a little scared to switch to new pills;

But, my insurance will cover them so that I won’t have higher medical bills.

I’ll have to wait and see what happens when I talk to the endocrinologist on Monday;

But, first I must get through Saturday and Sunday.

Then I’ll have to talk to my doctor who will probably give me new prescriptions;

And hopefully, the pills will work out and won’t cause me conniptions;

I am doing so much better since I’m off caffeine and I am cutting back on cigarettes;

These are two topics that have given me frets.

For, I want to have a healthier heart along with my man;

And we have been making very good plans;

So, that are bodies can function better;

It is nice that we are both trying to get healthier together.

My man can practically get along with anyone;

He is a very good boyfriend and a very good son.
