surfacing

feeling in my legs?
nothing yet but it will come
thirsty as can be


.


The last thing I remember before surgery was someone washing my knee (I suppose before they shaved it), and that the operating room was sooo cluttered! Looked like a storage room, with tables full of equipment all over. I suppose they knew what it was all for. :)

Next thing I know, a nurse is checking my vitals and asking if I was comfortable, did I want some ice chips. Yes! Please! So thirsty. mmm.

She kept pressing me on whether I was alert. I told her that a good test of that would be if I could write her a haiku on the spot about how I was feeling.

So I did. :)

She stopped asking.
