Medical Procedures
Two hip replacements and a bypass
(Triple) of the heart,
A brand-new valve and, very soon,
A pacemaker will start.
An operation on the spine
To help unpinch a nerve;
A cataract procedure
Coming soon, but on reserve.
A trip to the E.R. –
A diverticulosis scare
And several months ago
There was a hernia repair.
So many that I know have reached
That Medicare-form stage.
That what’s to be expected,
If we’re living, as we age.
