Wrote this just before I went into hospital to have my throat stretched again and to have some more tests done. I'm doing some better. At least I can swallow now but I have to take care not to strain my throat. It does give me some pain. Don't know what seems to be the trouble. They say they see no signs of cancer anywhere.
I'm going to the hospital again.
I'll see some new and old friends.
The doctor must like me for he likes to see me,
At least once a year to attend,
To matters concerning my throat.
Seems it slowly constricts and I choke.
Food sticks in my throat, I strangle and choke,
It's a chore just to eat that's no joke.
But it's only day surgery you see.
By noon they will soon set me free.
We'll go out to eat, my family and me,
I can order whatever I please.
There'll be no soup du jour for I've had the cure.
I can eat whatever I see.
For one year it's just great, I can fill up my plate.
Till it happens again I'll feel free.
