May God bless the drive thru's

Several weeks in to this healing journey.
Grateful of course, there was no gurney..
Now waiting for these bones to knit.
It's challenging for me to quietly sit.
Wheeling around my condo floors,
the metal stripping's are loose once more.
My wheel chair clunks on the foyer tiles.
Some days my arms feel they've walked several miles..
I amble to my car with my walking stick, to run a few
errands lickity split.
I'm grateful for drive thru's, those places one
can just pull up to: drive thru pharmacy to pick up my meds,
drive thru star bucks to clear my head, of course the fast
food options too. May God bless the drive thru!!
Still striving hard not to succumb to my some days
emotional pendulum..
Five weeks down, five more to go, the healing process is
painfully slow.

Thanks for visiting Tom. Don't want to get too theme Ish on the site and wear out my welcome. Blessings..

Hugs ~ Kim Login to Reply Nancy Kaufman Date: 4/29/2024 6:27:00 AM Hi Kim, I appreciate your visit and yes it is short local quick errands, as too many drive way above the speed limit and I am fearful of any further injury. Also pain meds. make me a bit loopy. Some things still need to be done when one lives alone regardless. Thanks for your kind words and thoughts my poet friend, much appreciated my dear

Victor Buhagiar Date: 4/29/2024 3:39:00 AM I hope this is fiction. It is not pleasant to go from one place to another in a wheelchair. Otherwise an intriguing poem.

I always thought people were wasting gas and being lazy before my accident happened when they used drive thru's. It's a necessity in some cases I now can see. Thanks for the visit.
