My knee operation Wednesday, September 9 2002 Half past seven early morn I had to be in hospital Took a shower and my crutches, looked around, I got it all They would operate me early, but forgot to check my heart Being there last week for checkups, I don't think that's really smart When they checked, it wasn't my heart and I told those nurses there I changed hearts in Tampa's villa, lots of poets there to share I gave each a piece of mine and got one back to hold on tight So take a peek and you will see, it is bouncing quite alright Then at ten they took me over to this operating room Got all tubes attached upon me, had to do that I presume Said 'goodbye' and 'see you later' when they put this cap on me And went off to roam the unknown, where the dreams are born you see First thing I heard when awak'ning 'Hey you, don't get up my dear So I layed back and waited for a long day to come I feared I was hungry, could eat a horse, as they say in my home town First drink I got was 3.00 pm and slowly swallowed it down At 5.00 pm the doctor came and said he clipped my kneecap It looked smooth and neat again, they'd put it in an icy wrap I went home and here I am, still feeling drugged and sleepy I'd better go to bed my friends, tomorrow you will see me The cartilage of my knee isn't good they said and they want me on this program where they give shots in my knee and this stuff will make the cartilage grow again. I'll hear all about that in three weeks when I have to go back for checkup. I don't have too much pain, so all went well. ![]() Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (10-09-2002 07:32 PM).] |

I'm glad it all went well, Titia... and thank you so much for sharing your dear heart and lovely photos... one of which is featured in the poem I posted tonight. We got home around midnight on Sunday night and then had to leave for Ann Arbor at 9 the next morning for my first radiation treatment, so our car isn't even unpacked just yet... I'll have the radiation every weekday until Oct. 25.... hopefully, by then, David will get the car unpacked.... BTW... I brought a piece of everyone's heart to radiation with me... I hope you all don't mind ![]() ![]() ![]() Lyra |

I love the way you borrowed a piece of everyone's heart to carry home. You no doubt left a bit of yours behind with each them, as you do with the rest of us here. I will say my most powerful healing mantra for you, dearest Dutchie. |
