snip and tuck
here and there
aligning the mind’s image
to public presentation
advances have been made
yet worry arises
as a dilemma presents
in the aftermath
love surrounds
and concern abounds
all hover with care
for best outcomes
right actions secured
the worst scenario averted
then home for attentiveness and recovery
in pain but so much more at ease
slow and steady progress continues
bucket list item checked off
Surgeries are so scary and it amazes me how fast our bodies recover.

For me, it makes me think I want to avoid surgeries!

I don’t know why, but I see more in it 😀 because many surgeries are not easy, so the patient can be happy if the surgery is succesful, but also the doctors have to be careful each time not to do a mistake, so it is not relaxing for anyone.

That’s true, hadn’t thought of it from the surgeon’s perspective. Thanks, Timo!

Well written – the tension is there followed by the deep sigh and relaxation… Wonderful!

This was actually about my son’s complications. And he actually suggested to write about it since I needed a topic for a post. On Monday, he had surgery and we had a small hiccup (remedied swiftly), but he seems to be bouncing back quite well now. I was staying with him to help with his recovery but am already back home. He and his roommate should be able to handle it from here. Thank you so much for your concern, Eugenia! ❤

I like your rhyme scheme in this, nice piece, I don’t think about this subject much so it was nice to see it through a different lens.

Thank you, Rei! I wouldn’t think about it either but since we had this situation, I decided to write about it.
