Karen's recent surgeries brought back memories of my own.......
On the edge of vision, the Masked Ones hover, gloved hands held captive under sterile armpits. Waiting. Waiting for the moment to pounce. An awful sun hangs suspended over me. All color bleeds from the room except green. My nakedness is kissed by detached ghosts attaching leads as they prepare me for the knife. I'm cold. I'm numb. The numbers wind from one hundred to zero and everything goes dark as the awful sun sets into oblivion, and I, along with it.
oooh reminded me of my last surgery...never a pleasant experience, scary actually. You've penned it well and so descriptive my dear friend.

Hi Karla, this brought back memories of my own, too. When they told me to count to ten, I was quite certain I would count to 1000 and still be awake. When I awoke, it was several hours later, and I was wondering whether they were able to operate! :)
Meaningful poem, Karla...so many memories...
God Bless

Some people are afraid of surgery. I never was. At 17 I was admitted to hospital with an appendix pain. By next day the pain was gone. However when the surgeon came I feign pain. I agrued this must go, might as well do it now. Afterwards I did feel pain, but was glad to get rid of it. My mother wanted to kill me :) Victor
