Surgery

Surgery

A flurry of emotions surround such a word
Time and date Tuesday 
A ticking timebomb
tic, tic, tic
until the day arrives

 
Surgery Tuesday 
A chaotic rollercoaster of emotions
Up, down, spin, zag, and zip
 
Surgery Tuesday 
A waterfall of pouring emotional dread
A heart pounding intense psychological warfare 
Just wanting it done and over with
And back on the road to recovery 
 
Surgery Tuesday 
Tonight will be the last night I will sleep in my own bed for a while
Going to KC tomorrow 
9am Tuesday I have an MRI 
The later in the afternoon the Surgery itself
 
Surgery tomorrow 
I accept the cards life has dealt me
Life is like a game of poker
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
But you can never cheat the house
I just want this over with
And on the road to recovery 
 
Surgery today 
SHIT!!!!

    Yeah , I imagine that’s scary .. hope your recovering well then

    I know it’s not the same thing but I have to have few teeth taken out in a few weeks

    It’s always a relief when things have been done

          Considering the conditions you were under when writing this, it is a wonderful write. I sincerely hope you are the road to beating the house, take care

          Holy shit Tony. For real. Cannot imagine how that even feels, not for brain surgery. Sure, had a meniscus repair and anything can technically happen, but man, I can only imagine the weight you were carrying. I am just thankful you are here on this side of it to share. Well done, brother! ❤️‍🩹🌹

          That's raw - it's the weeks before which really are difficult. Once I go through the hospital doors, all worry disappears. I'm no longer my responsibility. I very much hope it is the same for you.
          l wish you well my friend.

              How timely for me. While this one is likely not as serious as yours, and even after many previous, this one scares me. Many are successful but some are not, I seem to lean towards the some. Good work here.
