Wishing the Time Away
I never thought I would deteriorate
To living from meal to meal,
Growing to reflect just what I ate
By just wishing the time away.
Wednesday will see me back on my legs
And using the muscles that slept,
Standing again on my own two feet
And taking some tentative steps.
Recovery is on my horizon at last,
Exercise will fill my day,
Time will grow wings and take to the sky
No more wishing the time away…

Loooong story, suffice it to say suspected ‘weak bones’, perhaps osteo porosis.

I wouldn’t have said you wished your time away, Denise.
You gave us so much pleasure with your blogs, and that showed me your mind was working full pelt while that frame held you bound.
So congratulations for making so much use of your captivity.
and on your gradual release.
All the best for this week.

I’m so happy you are up and at it again Denise. When we are sick perhaps it’s not the time we are wishing away but the being infirm. hugs

That’s why exercise has to be my first priority, Brian, to try to regain all the movement if I can… Hope your mom is OK now?

Too often I don’t wish the time away but just seem to exist until a particular time is here. Like payday, or a holiday or something else in the future and don’t feel the interim.

Oh, Carl, that’s what I try not to do… We’re supposed to live IN THE MOMENT, which I can understand, although it’s hard to do, otherwise we waste a lot of our lives!

How wonderful to hear you say
The time at last has come
To stand up on your own two feet
Just where you started from!
