I Fear

I went to the doctors the other day I was having a lot of pain I shrilly thought I was going to die Apparently, all I had were stones inside The doctor said that’s an easy fix 45minutes, you know that is quick You’ll be under and we’ll take a part of you out Still, fear fills my hear full of doubt Doctors seem to cocky for me, I know their smart, but some have swollen heads that fall to their knees They all seem to think surgery is no big thing I bet he be singing a different tune if he were the one in my shoes Author's Note: I just found out I have to have my gallbladder removed, the doctor says it's a simple surgery I go home the same day, but the idea of being cut open and having a part of me taken out makes me a little scared

Sarah, sometimes doctors are so nonchalant about procedures that frighten their patients. From what I hear, the surgery you describe will ease the pain. I pray it goes well for you. You have family here on the Soup. Love, Carolyn
