Go or Not Go



   A Big Decision Made 


I'm standing on the side 

Beckons side of my bed 

Back to bed or stay up 

Small dilemma beckons 


I'm soothing the bed bar 

The bar put there for me 

Saves from another fall 

Day I couldn't get up 


She, my wife called some friends 

Four o'clock, morning called 

Laying on the floor stuck 

Two came and pulled me up 


Looking now at the bar 

Partner, wife still asleep 

Quick decision, bed called 

Back in bed, only eight 


Small pillow 'tween my knees 

Covers over my head 

Hope soon I'll be snoring 

. . .

(Note:  This is true, the reason I could not get up is that I cannot get on my knees, never crawl again is that both kneecaps have been broken and didnot heal, onlyCalcified. )

Oh Jim, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope the bed bar is doing its job and keeping you safe.

Jim, the idea of having one kneecap broken is unbearable. Two is unthinkable. Stay safe.
