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 no, Jim! I hope you are okay.
Oh Jim, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope the bed bar is doing its job and keeping you safe.
Stay safe and hope the bar does its job
Jim, the idea of having one kneecap broken is unbearable. Two is unthinkable. Stay safe.
