Pain

I hope you never have to experience chronic pain.

I had a knee replacement on my right knee in 2012.

Even after months of therapy, it never felt right.

I walked in with a cane, came home with a walker.

After x-rays showed my knee cap down my leg, I planned another operation.

Different doctor, different hospital, 2nd knee replacement in my right knee 2014.

Same old story, months of therapy, never feeling right, pain constantly.

Here it is 2017, I have gone from my walker to a wheelchair.

The knee and leg are still sore to the touch, will this ever end?

Due to lack of activity, a blood clot formed behind my fake knee.

8-10″ long, now on blood thinner medicine to help this disappear.

The pain is still there, my doctor was audited, my meds cut in half.

I think of him every day when it gets to hurting more than I can stand.

I wish for one day, he could be in my shoes, feel what I feel, try to understand.

I try my best to stay positive, my garden, music,  flowers and fish keep me somewhat sane.

Enough moaning and groaning, off to the kitchen to rattle some pots and pans.

I wish for you health, happiness and love… And of course, lots of blues music! SMILE
