Right toes

My right toes are making progress, not much, but some. Coffee still smells good in the morning, but I have no desire to drink it. 

My right toes

Have begun to function

Together.

One month in the hospital

Means that coffee

No longer appeals

Not even Starbucks.

And

It is entirely possible

My life

Is reconfigured in ways

I had not planned.

Possibly three

So many doctors. It's difficult to figure which one counts the most. I focus on my right foot. Two toes moved yesterday. Today a third one seems to be getting the idea.

And look

A third toe

Registers movement.

It is vital

To register movement

Even as the doctor

Is concerned about that fall

You took

Over a week ago now

As you were learning

The walker

Yes

There is a lump

And yes

That third toe

Registers signs of life.
