Doctors are done
with tests and consulting
Surgery’s been
scheduled for over a week
The big day is upon
me—tomorrow
The day I say
goodbye to my gallbladder
Good riddance I
say, can’t wait
I’ve been tired and
uncomfortable for weeks
In preparation I’ve
run errands, done chores
Worked in my yard
in the heat of the day
(Who knows when I
can do this again?)
Bought books for entertainment
Tried to catch up
on volunteer things
Did laundry and
dusted my room
Wondering how I’ll
handle it all
Forty-seven years
since my last major surgery
My body has changed
a bit since then
Hoping I can bounce
back quickly
Need to bounce back
quickly
With an interview
two days post-surgery
Need to head to bed
soon
But will I be able
to sleep?
There’s a knot in
my stomach
But is it my gallbladder
or fear?
When I admit that I’m
anxious
I remember all the
friends who are praying
Praying and
thinking of me at that time
What a huge comfort
that is
