with thanks...

 

my new specialist

whom i have a great amount of gratitude for

has spoken words

that for today

give hope.

 

he still talks super fast as all specialists seem to do

and stood at my bedside

rather than sitting and staying a while

(that is okay though)

i suppose they see so many

 patients

individuals each day that they have learned to be speedy

 

but each time he came to see me

even though i always had to wait a very long time

between visits,

he took just a moment to say hello, smile,

ask how i was

before

he began his doctor speak.

 

i appreciated him.

and the encouragement he gave to me.

 

he speaks of probiotics.

 

he speaks of eating real food!

 

 vegetables and fruit real food,

not just easy to tolerate  not so good for me low impact food

 

he speaks of managing stress.

he speaks of the disease being managed fully

and life resuming

 

(as long as i take care of myself and get strong again )

 

 

my time away from my family

my home

my journaling and collaging

has stirred up stuff.

 

tales from the bed

i think i shall call them.
