Two more sleeps until surgery number 2.

Two more sleeps until more needles and scalpels.

Two more sleeps until more stitches and pain killers.

Two more sleeps until more hospital beds and water jugs.

Two more sleeps until more strangers in uniform and masks.

I’m scared.  I’m anxious.

Hold my hand please.  Don’t let go.

Two more sleeps until surgery number 2.
