As I Wake from Surgery

I would like to remember the way this feels. 

To remind myself to constantly refill the water.

Offer juices, coffee, tea. 

Have consistent meal times and healthy snacks in between. 

Check for comfort.

Listen to complaints and follow up. 

If the pain is disrupting sleep, what is the cause? Follow up until it subsides. 

Wash the hair, the face, the underarms and help cleanse. 

Pick up the laundry, put it in the basket. Clean the clothes. Stack the clothes. Get the towel.

Have the samples. 

Help with the children. 

Watch favorite shows filled with lighthearted laughter. 

Listen to music. Sing.

Make plans for the future. 

Bring the dogs in. Let the cat chat. 

Be present and understand the gift as time ticks away.
