The Last Hospital Stay

The last hospital stay After the surgery, I was flat on my back and not allowed to move an assistant - nurse came to feed me. A stern looking woman older than the others soup she fed me, open your mouth wide she said, I did and her eyes softened her figure became motherly she scolded me gently when spilling soup on the nib. When I didn`t want any more soup, she said I had to to eat it all. I felt drawn to here as a baby to her mother it was a beautiful moment; she tucked me in and I fell asleep. Then it was morning, and I was allowed to sit up and later stand up I looked out the window a football pitch the players’ red and yellow shirts it looked like mating ritual, the one who scored the most goals, get the sexiest girl, that`s ok, but I got to be a baby and remember it.
