Wednesday Morning

[saw]

the scalpel waits
sanitized and shiny
tomorrow the surgeon
washes his hands
I hope
the carotid needs to be scraped out
de-plagued
my son arrives at 5am
and away we go
to see stainless steel tables
and I will take a nap on one
I hope I have good dreams
and the pain meds are righteous

[sasha]

godspeed, old man -
surgery has come a long way
from those long-ago days
that we called its practitioners "sawbones"...
may your sleep be deep
may your nurses be kind and gentle
(and not offended by a little flirting)
may your stay be brief
and your roommate quiet
and the experience rich enough
to fertilize the creative soil
within your heart -
godspeed!

Thank you Roy !
I wish there was another way
but this is It......
thanx for the well wishes.....

Ohh it’s tomorrow! I’ve been thinking of you, knowing this procedure was coming up. You are so lucky your son is there for you and luckier still that they found the blockage and can clear it!

I’ll be here thinking positive thoughts and praying to the Universe for your thorough recovery!
