A DILEMMA

Here’s the dilemma of Timothy Flood,

A genius with needles, for advice he’s a dud!  


I asked him why I needed shots in the eye.

“Because you’re on Prolia” was his reply!


It sounded so simple, but it wasn’t rue — 

And that’s why I must now explain it to you!


Here’s where I sadly was terribly dumb —

And it should have prepared me for worse things to come!


It’s when Dr. Flood said “You’re a lawyer” (that’s true)

And wanted assurance that I wouldn’t sue!


Why in the world was he looking for that?

Just by his statement I should have smelled RAT!


Plus Prolia never should have been the main focus;

My eyes were affected by osteoporosis!


I learned that much later when when another doc said, 

The problem wasn’t Prolia, but osteoporosis instead!  


But I hadn’t known that, and this is no joke — 

I was frightened, skipped Prolia, and vertebrae broke!


I  haven’t the language to tell of the pain, 

Each day I bear it again and again! 


If a court could award me a writ of repleven, 

To bring back my broken bones, I’d be in heaven.
