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

Dreaming of running
My husband tries to sleep walk
With foot in a cast.
at home, cfblack, 5-26-2016
It’s the highs and lows
of a roller coaster ride
that will make you sick.

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.

Pain meds do their thing,
putting band-aids on the cause
of all this suffering.
cfblack, 5-21, morning
Pain is subsiding,
like ocean waves on the sand,
will it dare return?
cfblack, 5-21-2016, night
The back rash from hell
allergic to his pain meds
what are we to do?
cfblack 5-21-2016, midday
Crisis point is reached,
moving to the brink of death,
or to recovery.
cfblack, night of 5-20-2016
He ran out of pills.
“Wait 4 hours instead of 3.”
They don’t feel his pain.
