Forgive me one and all

for this is not really a poem

but rather a thank you

for all your kind wishes

for my surgery last week:

total knee replacement.

 

Well I’m now back at home

and to my surprise

I get around the house

and up and down stairs

without the crutches

and little pain

but how I hate

the orthopaedic stockings

I have to wear.

 

I’m doing the exercises

and that is when

the pain does kick

but I can live with that

and I am determined

and soon I’ll be

back to normal

and waiting for:

 

Yup!!

the other bloody knee to be done.
