Haikus Hit the Spot

No blood return boo
My catheter did not work
My hands now jacked

Hurt like hell again
Had to get a new central line
This one better work

Hit the rehab clinic
Still strong but legs are so weak
I feel 800

I surprised myself
It felt good to be moving
I could barely stand

I walked all over
I think I over did it
Still have huge cankles

Was a really big day
I am now on day 44
It feels like day one

I can do this, yo
But I am going to bed
I am exhausted.

(although I do get the weekend off I think to do my own infusion. This makes me happy.

Tell Grace I love to color. So does Zoe.

Yay for just getting through the day! Maybe you will sleep until 10 in the morning. We can hope anyway. Keep up the good work and rest well, sweetie.

You are just the best poet.

Have any Chuy's yet? Homegirl wants some chicken quesadillas.

Maybe I'll come pick you up tomorrow and we'll go to Shoshie's for some gel-packed fish. Whatcha think?

Now listen, I know you had cankles after you birthed that Zoe. You better have. Just try to remember um, uh,

Yeah. Never mind. Cankles. Yeah.

Deb
I hope you get the best sleep ever, just like Dorothy in the poppy fields of OZ and when you wake up I am hoping that the Cankels are now ankles or close to normal size.
Contratulations on starting Rehab, this will be your ticket to getting stronger. keep up the good but hard work and know i am thinking of you
Peace and Prayers

Debuma,
OMG Grace is screaming she is coming to color.
We are telling her NO, she is coloring at her
own home. You were # 3 on the prayer list
last night. That's pretty damn high here. #1 were
the folks. #2 Sarah and Nikki # 3 Deb.

Cankles or no cankles you are so doing this
girlfriend. I have a little bit of a hangover
today. 27 kids under age 22 would be the cause
of me drinking. The fact that you started rehab
is great, you will be amazed at the difference
once you get going on the Queens program.
It will change but not overnight. Remember
your patience "thing".
Wow a new central line, you are so lucky
all the cool kids get new ones, just trade
on up. Like getting a new car. I hope you
slept like a baby.

Your assignment today. Color a rainbow, color
ruby shoes, color a smile, color a kiss. The
kiss is from all of us.

Love the Yiddish Yoda Master
aka Shoshie

Have you checked on the vacant apt for the kids
so they can entertain you outside your window?
Spaz was dancing last night, he is getting ready.

Debuma - sorry you are hurting again - that just sucks. Rest, rest, rest and take care of yourself. Can't wait to read more poetry when you are feeling better.
Hugs

You say so much in (relatively) few words. Your posts are so interesting to read. You will get strong again. You are so working on it, with the right mental attitude. Put those cankles up on some pillows and get some rest, though. That seems to be what you need right now.
