The moonlight streaming in through the window pane
Was Witness to my steaming tears of pain
Her response was calm and logical too
Look at me, she said, and take a cue
There’s no need to mope and to cry
And in knots your tensions tie :
Taking pity on my plight
She soothed me with her peaceful light
She helped me, my fears, face
With her usual calm and grace
Continued then, with a little smile -
Though traveling many a countless mile
I wane regularly, with time’s tide
Because that’s the way my life will flow
But then I will come back soon
To you as a beautiful crescent moon.
So do not despair
And do not weep
Because if you, your faith keep
Your pain will also vanish one day
So it’s wiser to keep your despair at bay
Whatever befalls, take courage and bear
Because Life is full of wear and tear
Healing may not need to be just physical
It has to do with your emotions too
So keep them in control, and you will find
That you can bear it, if you have a strong mind

A letter to myself so to speak, this is amazing, a poem written to share with one's own self keeping the very vision and prospective that it will all be ok, I did the same sort of thing when I went to have my baby. I was terrified but had my special note to remind me it would all be ok. Most beautiful and soothing, I too need a new right Knee but I'm too young for now, and I am also very much a chicken. A most pleasurable read my dear NafisaSB 🌹
thank you so much for the read.
just to let you know that i tried painkillers, injections, homeopathy for my knee problem for more than 20 years and it was only when my orthopaedic doctor whom i had consulted for backache told me i would be confined on a wheelchair if i did not go for surgery within a year or two, that i took an instant decision to have it asap. Despite his suggestion to have one by one, i was firm about having only one hospital stay- so opted for both knees replacement to be simultaneous. obviously the pain and strain seemed unbearable but i have survived and can now walk briskly, thank God
so my suggestion is to go ahead when the pain seems to escalate- no need to suffer unnecessarily - but till then try to strengthen the cartilage with bone soup etc and do exercises as recommended.
wishing you good health and strong back and knees - take care
am happy you tried the same therapy during childbirth.. way to go...bless you
Thank you so much I have had a great cure for the past 3.years with fluid injections which have been taken from me and reput into my knee it's worked a treat, I'm 51 now and yes, when it's time I shall do the work thank you!!!
