Grim Prognosis
I remember having a great action adventure dream then reality set in and I was being prodded and poked and I remember hearing a very grim prognosis indeed. Irregular heart beat, infected ears, broken limbs, food allergies, immediate surgery with a slim chance of recovery. I wanted my dream back, I was at a pivotal moment Perhaps if I just close my eyes I can get back there and finish my dream. Of course that never works and instead of my dream I was left with the words of my surgeon ringing in my ears…”not good at all”… “may need to come off”… “this will make you go to sleep”. Then I needed to wee so I moved my body to get up but my surgeon said “mummy you’re not finished yet.” My five year old enjoys watching medical shows and her early morning play reflected it perfectly. One minute I’m dreaming the next minute my bed is a hospital theater and I’m undergoing life saving surgery. Let’s hope tonights dream with have a conclusion instead of me waking up on the operating table.
