HEALING *Edited
Riding the jagged edge of health,
Evading the perilous precipice,
Towards peace and tranquillity;
No longer leaking strength,
Cut like a razor, sawed like a grater,
Regenerating and replenishing,
Restoring the energy of life.

That says it ALL, Denise! It is beautifully crafted – I love the alliteration, which is so appropriate to the situation as days seem to go on and on, just like sounds. I love this poem. You obviously have your head together if your leg is not completely there yet!
Keep on keeping on, Denise! You are thought of and prayed for daily!

This reads and sounds extremely well.
Just one suggestion – maybe, because ‘precipitous presipice’ is rather a pleonasm, ‘perilous’?

I think you’re right, Col, I wanted to use ‘precipitous’ meaning ‘threatening’ but maybe I was wrong! Thanks for the advice. I’m glad you liked it. 😀

Do you know Denise, I am feeling the relief, as I am sure you are, at your growing freedom. Can you turn over to sleep with your released leg?
A wonderful poem of relief. Thank you

I can’t wait, Nancy. Physiotherapist coming to see me on Tuesday to work out a schedule. I don’t think it will take very long to get back to normal… It had better not, but I’m sure I can do a lot on my own.

Nicely done – jagged and perilous are such evocative words – *shudder*
I admire your strength of spirit in such extreme circumstances – best wishes for next week 🙂
