Greetings, dear poets and storytellers.
I hope you and your muse are doing as well as possible. Later today, my muse and I will be having another procedure. All right, I will be having the procedure, but my muse will be there for the ride (if I’m lucky). Surgeries don’t bother me a whole lot, but the waiting… the cold rooms… the needles… all the damn forms… annoy me more than anyone might think. I’m okay with the big things—the actual surgery and the recovery time—but everything that must happen first seriously gets on my nerves.
With that in mind, for today’s optional prompt, I invite you to write about something very small (a thing, a concept, a belief…) that you are very stubborn about.
Please, add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky. One post per participant. 369 words maximum (excluding title). You may share old or new pieces of poetry or prose, write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Visit other writers. Comment on their words.
next week,
we’ll invite you to think of a piece of music which warms your heart whenever
you happen to hear it played, and tell us what this particular piece has meant
to you in your life.
Thank you Magaly! Jae
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome, Jae.
DeleteAll the best with the procedure! I can understand how the necessary details around it can get irritating, particularly when so repetitive as you have experienced.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And you got in one.
DeleteMagaly, here is wishing you the best on the surgery and a speedy recovery. Question, will you be awake and be able to see? I've seen all my heart surgery but not my joint replacements, nor others either. They surgeon assistant has a tv video to watch, I have that person point it so the I can see also.

Jim, you're kidding! You like to WATCH your surgery??? Then you must have a much stronger stomach than mine.
DeleteHaha, same here. When I was having my heart surgery, I can see the stent and balloon the surgeons were inserting into the arteries, on a big monitor screen. :)
DeleteJim: I've been awake (and watching) for some surgeries. But not this one, since it had to do with my innards. ;-)
DeleteRosemary: You and my Piano Man are of a mind. He can't understand why I want to watch. But really, it's like the Discovery Channel (with your own bits as main characters).
dsnake1: Exactly!
Good day, Poets & Storytellers!
ReplyDeleteDear Magaly, all the best with the procedure. I was at the doctor's for my quarterly checkup a couple of days back and she gave me a clean bill of health, just watch my diet, which is pretty tough. Must be all those walking around that helps.
I am posting something a bit "abstract". I will be around to read later. Just finished my dinner around 10 p.m. (yeah, unhealthy habit) and as I typed this, it's coming to 2 a.m. here. :)
Not abstract so much as metaphysical, I thought. Wrenched my heart with recognition, anyway.
DeleteThank you, dsnake1. And I'm very jealous. "Abstract", huh? Intriguing...
DeleteThanks a lot, Magaly.
ReplyDeleteI got a chance to express & share about a topic I feel strongly about.
Fantastic!
DeleteI haven't participated in a while. My blog was "infected" with weird threatening comments. Even though they were anonymous and needed moderation, I closed it down for a few months. Hope that discouraged the weirdos! Hopefully I'll be back regularly.
ReplyDeleteHow horrible! I hope everything will be OK now and we see more of you.
DeleteLisa, that's so frustrating. Glad to see you back.
DeleteHi Magaly , all the best with the procedures and happy recovery soon
DeleteThank you, jossina.
DeleteThank you for the prompt, I'm in as Nick -Intelliblog. :-)
