Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

My Sister Is Unwell

My sister is unwell
Taken by ambulance
First we heard she had sepsis
Then we heard she has Covid
Third diagnosis was a broken T-1 disc
Which means a broken neck
What? This was after the second ambulance ride
And a chiropractor adjustment in between
Surgery is imminent we are told
Then surgery is optional
Now she has pneumonia
I was told by someone who may know
She is saying this because she does not believe in Covid.
I dread picking up the phone now.

Kim Rodrigues June 24, 2022 at 1:15 PM I learned the hard lessons from being in the ER and my mom in hospital. Often they don’t seem to know what they’re talking about. I went to ER for my gallbladder and the doc said it could be a blood clot because I had been on airplane. My husband followed the doc out, threw the curtain and said what the h*ll are you talking about… May God give wisdom regarding your sis and may she be healed in Jesus’ name! Caren Krutsinger June 24, 2022 at 5:21 PM Thank you Kim. We have many churches praying for her.

L Milton Hankins June 24, 2022 at 11:25 AM Oh my, Caren. I do hope she recovers quickly. Multiple diagnoses can be terribly confusing. To not believe in covid is quite troubling. Keep us up-to-date. I have a house full of company from Florida, so I won't be on computer much for the next few days. I'm doing okay. Caren Krutsinger June 24, 2022 at 5:22 PM I am glad to hear it Hank. Enjoy your company!
