Poem 4
The day began before dawn but it wasn’t too bad, I want all to know.
I can report - That’s one procedure down but still two more to go.
By 9:00 AM I had a few extra holes in the top of my almost bald head.
And by Noon, I was home comfy under the covers in my very own bed.
The second procedure I’m approaching with a good dose of anxiety and fear.
It is hours long and I am awake some of the time so I can respond, or so I hear.
While in the OR, I’m part of a study on motor skills and the affected brain part
It’s a computer game,the kind where kids excel,a tutorial they insist,before I start.
After I told them my 5 year old grandson’s remark, on them I cast no blame,
To quote, “MeMe, you are the WURST, not in real life but at this game.”
