A poem that shows you can take the simplest of event, feelings, or a description of an item, and it can turn into word-magic. You describe and upcoming surgery, for which there is understandable angst and mixed expectations, and have turned it into a tasty poetic soup. I hope that your surgery goes well --- we will be sending you positive thoughts and prayers!

Comment from judiverse
I had a hip replacement, but I have no idea what shoulder replacement would be like. Best of luck to you. I suppose therapy will be recommended. I learned that you have to do most of the work with this type of surgery. They doctors don't know how easy they have it. They're in and out in a few hours, and you're facing weeks of recovery. Don't worry about your writing and reviewing for FS. We will miss you, though. Excellent poem about your upcoming surgery, and sounds in a better mood than I would be. My hip replacement was quite successful no problems with it at all. It's amazing what they can do with these devices. judi

It is amazing. I'm so thankful the lupus attacked my bones rather than organs. Still five hip replacements and other things are more than I wanted to do. I hardly have any joints/bones that are my own. I'm a walking erector set. lol

I haven't had to have any more replacements, fortunately. Maybe you could go to an auto body shop for some spare parts. Best of luck to you. You can be assured of success with the operation. It's just the inconvenience. Best of luck. judi

I'm an hold hand at this. I've had replacements before. Five hips for a starter, then wrist, and a partial shoulder. I think I just know just about what it takes as much as those snippy little young therapists. lol.

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
Bless you. I pray that you'll have a smooth, successful surgery and a speedy recovery. I like this little poem that you've penned describing this event.. I like the clever wording you've used and the way you presented it. I'm going to believe for you that you'll be back at it before you know it. I've enjoyed reading your work and will enjoy it again soon. Well done Damommy. We that know about this will be praying for you. Try not to worry.

Comment from pome lover
well, first off, good luck with your surgery. I don't blame you for being nervous. I should have both my knees replaced, but haven't done it.
I hope you have a steady, problem-free recovery!
Who wants an old vacation, anyway?
But, to your poem:
Your rhymes are definitive and meaningful, and the accompanying drawings are neat - depicting what you will have done. good job and best wishes!

Thank you so much for the good wishes. This isn't my first surgery. I've had five hip replacements, and a should done before, just to name a few. I have avascular necrosis caused by lupus.
When you have your knees done, you'll be so glad you did!
Thank you for reviewing.
-
heavens! Bless your heart. You have certainly have had your share of pain, and recovery. Again, best wishes to you.
Knees may not get done at this late stage.
-
I hope they aren't causing you too much pain. They can do it without putting you under these days.
-
replace them? without putting me under???
-
LOL. It's better than being put to sleep.
Comment from Sharon Haiste
Your verse tells aptly of your upcoming experience.
Good luck with the surgery. I'm sure that it is routine these days. Doesn't help the anxiety though.
Heal soon and come back full strong.

A very well-written Allouette about your shoulder replacement happening tomorrow. I pray that the surgery will be a great success and that you will recover quickly with no delays.
