Anna hosting at d’Verse had suggested writing on a high and low of poetic art and culture. Not strictly to the prompt here but I'm really on a high and low.
On extreme high
now,
To Providence, extremely
thankful and grateful
On low last
week, slow
on comments and response, to
seek apologies
My loving wife Shadah had a minor surgery done on Nov. 1st. It was scheduled earlier on 23rd Oct but
brought back to the later date. When I enquired last week how risky it would
be, I was given the classic answer, ‘any surgery is risky’ ( it left a lump in
my throat )
The procedure took about 2 hrs and everything’s just fine
now! We wish to thank God the AlMighty
and most Merciful for having protected us in our moments of concern and moments
of need And Datuk Dr R and his team did
a splendid job. We are extremely grateful.
Shadah was discharged today. We are back home now!

yay i am glad that she is fine now...and no matter how routine, i know surgery can be scary...glad it all went well...and good to see you as well...noticed your absence...welcome home to her....and i wish continued healing...
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian! Shadah had been going for tests for a few days last week. I was communicating to and fro to the hosp. I'm glad she's all ok now. The physical and emotional healing phase is currently in place. The hosp is great for its support and so also you and the rest of the community here. The burden is a lot lighter now!

Definitely highs and lows to be felt; I'm glad she is fine now and home. Regards to you both.
ReplyDeleteShadah is ok and she's home. Thanks for your kind wishes, Kathy!

Glad all is now fine and hopefully the healing comes fast
ReplyDeleteWhen they give the stupid answer ones mind always goes to things that are vast
Thanks Pat! Yes, sometimes we would rather not hear non-committals but still!

Wow, those are life's greatest highs and lows. All my best for your wife's gentle and fast recovery and for your family's stress level to drop in response. Thank you for sharing this story with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna! Life's highs and lows happen many times. One prays it's not serious when it happens. Thanks for hosting!

Oh Hank..glad everything is fine now.. Lucky Shadah to have such a devoted and loving husband to care for her.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cressida! Shadah is my only life's possession, that's why!
DeleteHank
Just a busybody chanced by here...
ReplyDeleteGood to know Shadah is recovering well and no problemos. I can imagine your anxiety, and worries. She too.
Anyway, now nothing like lots of TLC to quicken her back to full recover.
My best regards to Shadah, you too.
Tell Shadah to keep a song in her heart.
Lee.
Drop by anytime Uncle Lee! Shadah is ok now. Thanks! I'll tell her so. A song in the heart is mesmerizing and it lingers on, certainly!

Oh, Hank, I'm so happy for you and Shadah. There's nothing like coming home after something like this. My husband had surgery in August, and was in the hospital for 8 days. I stayed in a hotel nearby, and had our dog with me so that I wouldn't get depressed.
ReplyDeleteI just know you're taking good care of Shadah now that she's home. Love and best wishes to both of you, my friend.

How nice of you, Kay! It's a sacrifice one wants to extend. I was lucky there was a cabinet bed in the room (a spouse's bed according to the nurses) I was sleeping there in the night as Shadah experienced stiffness and couldn't move. It would have been a bother to call the nurse every time. Thanks Kay! You're taking good care of hubby too! That's great Ma'am!

Happy to hear she is fine and both of you are home ~
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the feeling of anxiety and seesaw of emotions ~
Hope you are fine too Hank ~
Have a good weekend ~
Thanks Grace! We're both ok now. And to you too!
DeleteHank
Thanking God Most High for you and your loved one.
ReplyDeleteGood wishes and Reiki rays to you both in the recuperation.
