"Hernia" Is not a greek Goddess


Poem Artwork

 

To my friends at The Den

I’m still not all there

Not that I ever was

But physically wise

I am unable

To stay for prolong moments

let along sitting before

A computer

My surgery was a bit more

Severe than anticipated.

 

When I was a kid

I thought “Hernia”

Was a Greek Goddess

Until I witness

What she really was.

 

20 years ago

I got one of my own

I never paid any mind to “Her”

For then repairing “Her” was an option

According to my physician

So I let “Her” be.

 

Last month “She” popped

“Her” Ugly head out

Causing uddles of pain

Unknown to me

I was the unlucky one

I came into possession

Of

Tow of “Them”

One on each side

Three weeks ago I underwent

A bilateral procedure

Having both of “them” repaired

At the same time.

 

Recovery seems slow and a bit

Painful

So please bear with me

I will attempt occasionally

Popping up at The Den

To post and read

Love & peace to all.

 

My two “Hernias”

Where not by any means

Greek Goddesses.

William, ouch! Take care of yourself and you'll be up and about soon. You will be in my prayers for a relief of pain and soreness. Since I've been gone from AD for sometime, I just read this & found out you have been under the weather from surgery. Surgery can leave one feeling totally helpless...I feel for you. It's painful & depressing...God Bless.

Mon frčre D'Artagnan, so you got (twice) the point of a Richelieu's guard sword that near the crown jewels, I hope next time you don't go around taking "options", be well and strong to tackle with the brothers Ed, Salty Walt, Fee, Jasmin, Ted and the bouquč of warring ladies around...that, if you aren't a chicken! ! !

OUCH. Sorry to hear; you are in my prayers, William! Please take care and take it one day at a time (and remember, do not laugh if you can help it! Learned that myself the hard way; twin sis tried to get me to laugh after having abdominal surgery. I wanted to KILL her! NOT really, but *OW* LOL).

Love you!

(((gentle hugs))) and much love, your Tx. friend, Karen Lynn. ;(

Love your sense of humor; it shines through beautifully! :)

Oh William, I know, how those Goddess's can be a pain in the butt, but then, that would be a different operation...lol,
I know all about your pain, I am trying to send you healing energy, but you have to co-operate, and really rest and take care of yourself.
I am going to post our new collaborative tonight, I am feeling really good about this one, it is the spark that you will need to get on the fast tract of healing.
You know how much you are loved by all here at AD!!! Now go and heal and come back real soon!!

Much peace, love, and light to my special collaborator and friend,
