Christmas Carols for Arthritics

stickywicket

If, like me, you are looking out on a dreary day and your only Christmas thoughts are of how much is still to be done, brew up a cuppa and sit down with these. They never fail to hit the spot with me. What a talented creaky bunch we are!

I'm afraid this is the best I could manage today. It is not by Cliff Richard

Christmas time.
Cocos with mulled wine.
Meth, hydroxy, penicillamine.
With trammies on standby and pred in the drawer
A time to think what are arthritic joints for?

My knee is a wreck. And so is my neck.
My fingers have gone. My feet are creaking
Dreams of surgeons. Dreams of knees
Working. Pain-free. Please, Santa, PLEASE.

Oh my word, what a lovely reminder of how things used to be, maybe it's time for an update? (To the tune of Silent Night and, if you are a Newbie, look away now).

Aches and pains,
Aches and pains,
Everything hurts,
Nowt has been gained
I take the meeeds and
Feeeel the same,
I'm doing my best but
Getting nowhere,
Arthritis you have won,
You've won
Sadly you b*gg*r you've won.

Or (guess the tune;) )

Deck my joints with bags of hot wheat
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la la.
Doesn't help but feels so jolly,
Fa-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
No trace of copper, not a magnet,
Fa-la-la, , la-la-la, la-la-la,
Strangely there's no lasting benefit,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la.

Here goes .... Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Doctor dear, are you listening?
It's making me sweat, my forehead's glistening
I'm flaring again,
I can't stand the pain
Of walking in a winter wonderland

Early morning went to see the toe man
He said it was far beyond repair
I said "are you kidding?" He said "no man"
"Your body's bug herd but you do have quite nice hair"

Later on, I conspired
As I sat by the fire
To take extra pred
And then go to bed
Instead of walking in a winter wonderland

Right, this is all I can manage.

Good King Wenceslas looked on his
Big-gish box of med'cins.
Then decided what to take
and what to leave to chance-ing.

Found he got it all so wrong
but then he wasn't bothered
'Cos the morphine-opoids junk
Was so very soooo- oooth-ing.
