Sometimes life just gets in the way
of putting out my newsletter.
Sometimes things have to get worse
before they can ever get better.
This time it was a meniscus tear
in my right knee
from dancing 4 hours straight in high heels
like I was still 23!
Pain, swelling, throbbing
followed the procedure.
A little disorientation,
A little bit of fever.
And extended loopiness
stemming from the meds
prevented me from getting comfortable
even in my very own king-size bed.
Blankets kicked off,
amidst pillows galore –
sometimes on the couch,
sometimes on the floor.
So, I will pass this week
on spewing forth my musings
because, due to the pain killers,
they’d be way too confusing.
I’ll be back next week,
hopefully fully revived,
as proof of another
health hurdle survived.
Ah, the joys of aging!
Keep Preserving Your Bloom,
Iris Ruth Pastor
