Forrest Gump

Thanks, Michael, for the image. It's good to hear from one who shares the path.

So many doctors,

More specialists

Every day.

Now I am home

Doing follow-ups.

Everything first requires

My primary care doctor

Who does not have space

In her schedule until

Late May.

Figure it out

Yourselves

I say.

I am learning to walk again

Like Forrest Gump.

I don’t imagine running

Will enter the picture.

I have many medications,

They fill a plastic shoe box.

I learned in rehab

I am not alone.

48 hours

Whatever will you do? they ask me.  No problem here.

It’s me and the cat

The turtle and the blue jays

Two cars in the driveway

At least 48 hours to do

Whatever the heck I want

The gift of time alone

Silence if I wish or

Whatever music beckons

An ear

A possible haircut

My tastes are simple

Me and the cat

The turtle and the blue jays

Two cars

48 hours.
