I TRY
BY SUE

IT IS SO HARD TO TYPE
WITH JUST ONE HAND TO USE
TO PUT THE CAPITAL LETTERS
WHERE THEY SHOULD BE
SO I THOUGHT OF A GOOD IDEA
I WILL TYPE ALL LETTERS IN CAPITAL
BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE
ONE HANDED ABOUT SIX WEEKS
WITH ONLY ONE GOOD LEG
ONE GOOD ARM TO WRITE WITH
AND RIBS THAT HURT SO BAD
EACH TIME I MOVE
THERE IS NOT MUCH THAT I CAN DO
BREATHING EXERCISES
IS WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID TO DO
EVEN THOUGH IT DOES HURT
WITH MY RIBS BEING SEPERATED
NUEMONIA WOULD SET IN
SO I TRY TO DO WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID
EVEN THOUGH I LIVE BY MYSELF
I DO THE BEST I CAN

Wow... I'm sorry. I'd offer you a hug, but I don't think that would be wise. You are a braver person than I would be in your situation. I hope you get well soon.

I don't care if you're an old fart, because old people are smarter than me.

This is good. I know how this feels because my cat just tore up my wrist. And it hurts just to type. But ain't as bad as having a broken arm. That is much worse. Good write.

Sue, I hadn't realized that you had been injured. I know how frustrating and painful these injuries can be. Sending you lots of healing green light.

Hey, Sue, dear friend.....what in the world happened to you?????? You may not believe me, but I really have missed you around here.....your poetry and your replies to my poems and others. I certainly hope that you get better real soon, dear friend. And, I love your poetry, whether it's in all capitals, or not. I can tell that you always write from your heart. Thanks for sharing, sweet Sue.
Love To All,
Ethel

P.S. If you need someone to talk to, I'm always here to lend a listening ear.

Great one handed typing; there are days I can't even type with two.

I hope there's someone around to help you from time to time. I hate to think of you all alone in the condition you're in.

Breath and rest and feel better.  Marti
