Incipiently it had crept in the gray skin, tired muscles, the waking up with a start in the night First one doctor then another its surgery time to go,doctor Slater said its surgery call when youre ready I tried and tried to convince myself I could fix it Dropped my blood pressure dropped my weight Even dropped my pulse trying to escape finally it was obvious I had delayed to long so I made the call in an amazing feat of performance the hospital jumped to Generating huge amounts of information All about me just for you Told all my friends Called all my family Even called friends I hadnt seen in years told my boss and calculated the date Good luck hope it wasnt to long to wait the day of surgery I slipped on the ice injuring my back and hip it was not nice Just as we headed north the chest pan closed in First 50, then 100, and worse I thought crap I waited to long this is it they rushed me to surgery the fear that this might be it the big one I cant shake off when they got there my heart was dusky and sick but with the first connection all was well the aorta was healthy so they fixed the rest of the heart Then in the ICCU I fought the care Made their life difficult Toward the end of day two I finally woke up glad to be alive but really hurt They talked and drugged me through it So then the telemetry step down unit Everyone was wonderful but theyre not friends or family A few emails and a call But no one visits and I feel myself slipping into the abyss Hoping I might not make it to morning Fearing I might, I fight through the night, Typing out my plight my nurse smiles and checks me all out gives me some pills calls the doc finally decides youll be alright call if you need turns out the tv and light “it will all be better by mornings light” Walking around I realize my problem is just some depression the abyss was calling to teach me a lesson But my nurses had already taught me not to listen Shut the door on the abyss wait for the sun to glisten michael
