Price to pay
After surgery
Inside all day
Nowhere back to normal
Pill after pill
Alleviates the discomfort
I fall asleep and
Nap away the hours
Pondering an end to
All this swelling
Ice pack on my lap
Numbing the pain
Pondering my agenda
As the agonizing hours pass
I wait for my body to heal
Not exactly a vacation
Hope you recover quickly!
