In darkness the miles clicked by. Only reflections from road signs
and car lights brightened the way. The miles seemed to flow slowly but yet fast
at the same time.
two ancient people
with poor night vision travel....
surgery's fate awaits
The waiting room is an open, drab room with different people coming and going. Then the nurse says come on back pre-op room. The patient is upset because they could not enter a vein and kept sticking him. He was antsy and frustrated.
the team of doctors
came through the door....
joy shot given
The doctor comes to say, "Surgery only took 45 minutes, he's in recovery, he did extremely well".
the recovery
wait, two and one-half hours....
finally he's back
A long, long night with fifteen minute naps. Vitals checked, meds given, urinal used and added pain meds. Slight fever, low blood pressure, too busy to write.
the hurdles jumped
each one successful...
soon a birthday comes
