A THURSDAY RUSH

A THURSDAY RUSH

arose from bed this morning at the wife’s clarion call…

the Home Health aide would soon arrive…

actually, a nurse and a student nurse came in,

I escaped , out-numbered, to survive!

in the common room one see’s the hordes descend,

health providers flow into the breach….

working out health plans designed with intent

maximizing life and health for each.

now my wife, two nurses and her aide can entertain,

while I will ply my trade nearly alone…

but for Joanne and the neighbors who pass by

working in the common spaces here at home!

WRITTEN WHILE THE MISSUS GOT REINTRODUCED

Physical therapy,

Not something done to me…

Except (I forgot)

When an injured back taught

Proper posture and lifting to me!!!!

The wife comes in again

For help with shoulder pain…

A chance to ease

Her suffering , please,

‘Though arthritis damage remains.

Therapists here all know

My wife from a previous “go”…

Familiarity

Is important you see,

They’ll take things patiently and slow.
