moving about

moving about
rather slow

concentrating
on how to go

slow and steady
there's no rush

except in my mind
I try to push

learning to walk
or so it seems

can be tedious
to my life stream

in front of the
other goes one foot

heel to toe
in shoes, not a boot

when will the
healing be complete

when will I be back
completely on my feet

recovery

my mind's a blank
turned to mush

I am sure it stank
from all the tv rush

it's all I've done
to pass the time

it's not too fun
though not a crime

and I have read some
and blogged a bit too

and done a crumb
of exercises; just a few

surgery's done

the surgery's done
it's not fun

the healing's begun
little action

looking forward to run
get off my buns

no delight

don't want to write
haven't the sight
to make things right
seems such a fright
and even an outright
affront-I take no delight
in what's been said tonight

raising teens

I
try
to get by
I don't know why
I often feel the need to sigh
and wonder just how others ply
with teens in house-hold supply
there are days now when both comply
and then there are days when I can only cry
but I am truly hopeful that in the future by and by
that my teens will be not only my kids but a willing ally

new bike

getting a new bike
is something I like

going faster than before
will improve my score

cycling more efficient
means less energy spent

aerodynamic will also aid
so my energy won't fade

easier gear shifts will allow
me to learn the feel and how

to let my body be my guide
and get the most out of my ride

foot pain

not sure what to do
about this foot pain
I've been feeling

the pain is not so
bad each day yet
still keeps me reeling

can't walk or run
exactly with proper form
this will only lead

to more exaggerated
problems and my
healing impede

so I am going today
to another doc to see
just what he thinks

about how far this
has gone and if I am
on the brink

of a surgery in my
future, which I had
already been told

was something I need
but I've kept putting
it on hold
