Yuletide Recovery

About five years ago, I had a surgery and wrote this while in the hospital. I actually quite enjoyed myself and the surgery was not painful for me at all! Just came across this in my files and thought I'd throw it on here, for anyone worried about surgery before Christmas time. It can actually be quite nice! (Sing to Jingle Bells) Refrain: Oh, IV drip! I sit and sip a juice or diet Sprite. With each meal, I’m sure to feel more and more all right. Oh, Bless my soul, remote control right nearby my head! I watch TV, though groggily, right here from my bed. 1. A day most winter-y, I came for surgery. But I felt nice and warm as drugs went in my arm. It’s been so comforting to not recall a thing. Of pain I hardly can complain while I’m recovering! Oh. . . (refrain) 2. I’ve been here just a day and sure enjoy my stay. I just turn on a light and take some time to write. I’ve not yet had to pee. It’s being done for me! Too bad this visit’s not all free, it’s like a luxury. . . Oh. . . (refrain) 3. If I keep doing well, I’ll have a great Noel. I’ll leave new and improved, this catheter removed. My hysterectomy is what’s the best for me. So minus “womb” I’ll leave this room and Christmas merrily! Refrain: Oh, IV drip! I sit and sip a juice or diet Sprite. With each meal I’m sure to feel more and more all right. Oh, bless my soul. Remote control right nearby my head! I watch TV, though groggily, right here from my bed.
