Really beautifully expressed. Poetic and well worded. Though it is about real pains you made it so light. Thanks for the poetry in humour or humour in poetry??????

Oh don’t worry Christine, these are just common things these days. Please do not think much and take the pills as prescribed, all will be fine.

Although it’s good that your doctor was being thorough, if I were your doctor I would now prescribe lots of rest, relaxation and pampering. It must have been a dreadful experience, but I’m sure your positive attitude will reward you with good results.

Oh Christine, you and I, like many around us, are becoming of that age. Please do look after yourself and take this health scare seriously. Your doctor obviously did. And here i am worrying about foor pain! Loved your poetic way of telling us about all this.

Everything will be fine Ms. Christine. Take care.

I am sorry that happened to you. When I wads 29 I W’s through tests and discovered I hes congestive heart failure. But, I was lucky because it was viral which means medicine would make it go away. Thankfully it went away because they were talking heart transplanted for me. El

I hope all is well with you. Take care.

Ask God for help because he is the healer.

Very Sad Teacher Christine…thank God you are back home. we shall pray against the stress factors! Wish you speedy recovery and a Happy 2012!

I like the poem. Hope you are feeling better now.

You can express anything with a poem. You are good at it.

Take good care of yourself Christine. I’m sure you will be fine.

OMG! I’m sure you’re okay. Doctors are overly-cautious, but I guess that’s they’re job. They sometimes do cause more stress than good.

OMG, I am too familiar with that scene. The test the Nitro-pills which then followed a headache, the stress test etc.
But yes it is better to be safe than sorry. Unless of course your going to the emergency room. You mention heartattack and you in. At lease you ok that is what matters.

Wonderful write, Christine. I have had those tests numerous times and they do take it out of you when checking your heart. But as you said it is time for rest. I wish you the best of health and keep entertaining us with your wonderful slants on serious subjects.

t is good your Doctor picked up the concerns and ordered the actions although difficult for you at times. The poem is well presented and we share all the imagery you pen.

What a great – but terrifying – story, Christine. Loved the poetic language here. Love the way you write. I’m fascinated.

And we have so much in common when I looked at your profile. Adding you as a friend soon as I post this comment. Hope we’ll be good Triond friends.

This is a fantastic write on the matter…..that sounds like an awful ordeal!

hang in there and take care

I usually smile while reading your poems, but this got me concerned. I am hoping all the tests will come back fine too.

Take Care…. Eat well, go for walks, sit in the garden, have tea with scones, go shopping with hubby’s card and bring your cute litte grandson round again, to do some dusting and singing nursery rhymes….

Regards
Doctor Elena

Try to relax. Take walks and don’t worry. That too will pass.

I like your twist in this little misadventure.Brings to a pleasant lift to a stressful situation.well done. Now get off that treadmill with that laptop! No typing while jogging!

What a wonderful Doctor you have Christine, too be saw- concerned. At leased now you know all is well.
Enjoy life and be happy and healthy in 2012.

Christine, it sounds as if you have had a terrible time with doctors and tests. I’m afraid to tell a doctor anything, as you point out, it means tests and more tests that seem unnecessary. I hope all yours come back negative. You take care and keep us informed.

That is worrisome. I admit I am no stranger to these tests either. I know how stressful they can be since I go through them daily except for the radiation treatments… Good luck with everything…

Great poem Christine,and I believe you will overcome all this

oh, i don’t like this, though I like this poem.
Take care and wish everything is fine.

Love the poem, but sorry to hear that you took an unpleasant body check. Hope you feel better now and the chest pains can be cured the soonest.

I hope you get better soon!

Take care of yourself, Mrs. Ramsay. There is someone I love I’m worried about. Saying a prayer or two.

‘So now I’m back home feeling battered

And in need of a few hours rest.’

Good to hear that!

GOD bless You

Christine, I hope you are all right. Let us know the results of your tests. We only want the best for you.

Chest pain is unpleasant. Hope you will not experience this drama again

You sure have been through a lot. Hope things go better for you.

Thanks for the very informative article

I am very sorry to hear about this. I pray that you will get the rest and relaxation that you need.

You are so lovely all of you. Thank you for your concern but I am sure I will be okay. I won’t know for a few weeks yet.

please do have some rest and follow your doctor’s advice. I wish you well.

Oh Mum! I didn’t know.

I am praying for a full recovery for you my friend.
