Need a sign of hope
Rain clouds on the horizon
Need to feel the sun.
Choose to be hopeful
Doctors doing all they can
Picture going home.

Day 7
May 20, 2016Surgery: May 13
Go home: May 14
Return to hospital: May 19
Day 7 since surgery:
The world keeps turning,
Days melt into other days,
Pain meds kicking in.
Had to return home,
every fiber of my being
wanted to remain.
Get some sleep, my love,
This never-ending nightmare
will soon go away.

Baby step accomplishments

Reduce pain medication,
No dependency.
