May 26, 2016

Dreaming of running
My husband tries to sleep walk
With foot in a cast.

Highs and Lows

May 23, 2016

It’s the highs and lows

of a roller coaster ride

that will make you sick.

Rain

May 22, 2016
Rain falling outside
it soothes like an ocean wave
promising rosebuds.

hope

May 22, 2016

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.

Band-aid

May 22, 2016

Pain meds do their thing,

putting band-aids on the cause

of all this suffering.

Relief

May 22, 2016

Pain is subsiding,

like ocean waves on the sand,

will it dare return?

Allergic

May 22, 2016

The back rash from hell

allergic to his pain meds

what are we to do?

Crisis point

May 22, 2016

Crisis point is reached,

moving to the brink of death,

or to recovery.

He ran out of pills.

“Wait 4 hours instead of 3.”

They don’t feel his pain.
