Leave it to me to have an uncommon condition
Iron deficiency, long-standing; an early clue
Tick, tick, tick, a ticking bomb
Testing me; fatigue, weakness, dizzy spells
Ornery bugger, anemia
Readily alleviated, then relapsing
All eyes on the blood, missing the hidden agenda
Leave it to my body to hide a rare illness
Count down; days, weeks, years; who knows
Everything happens in due time
Lingering in corners; left side pain; splenomegaly
Leave it to me to have a Cancer scare
Assessment of a cyst-like mass, an ultrasound finding
Needles drawing bone marrow; Leukemia warning
Grateful when the procedure was through
Iron infusion therapy prior to splenectomy
Obsolves my benign tumor; biopsy confirms
Mending; emotional, physical, and spiritual recuperation
Anatomy free of affliction; leave it to me to heal
