Well, I sure got it ~ that gallbladder disease
couldn't hold off till way past 80s!
my stone is a big one on that you can bet
they tell me it's easy, simple ~ no sweat!!
will I feel different
will I still function
seems I've come to a
life-altering junction
hang in there liver ~ hang in there spleen
pancreas, kidneys ~ stay healthy and clean
I need all my parts the rest of my life
no more taking me 'under the knife'
well ... except for my hips
each needs a new joint
I want to stay active
that's the whole point!
gall-bladder's gone bad, my doctor has said
it's the female, fat, forty syndrome we dread!
time for deep sleep, a few tiny incisions ..
another of life's more intriguing revisions!!
