Results of the day

A Story by Jon Roggie

I don't seem to be nodding off,
 so I must have some energy left.

Sorry.
You are stuck with me once again.

Tremors seem to have stepped back,
 and this means I can attempt to share the chaos of my mind.

Yardwork only left a few wounds.
Bruises are surfacing,
 but the blood is not running.

Coagulation is still looking good.

Arms are only a little numb.

Thinking this is a list of complaints?

Sure!

I have it easy.

I heal.

I hurt,
 but rarely something which brings me to a stop.

Knees will do it,
 but why not?
One of the caps is a couple inches out of place.

This is a good day.

Some don't understand constant pain.

I have it easy.

Yes,
 it slows me down,
but you do what you can.

You don't know how you will feel tomorrow.

Sleep is always interrupted.
Unable to stay in one position,
 you wake.
Might get back to sleep,
 but it also be a hour down the line
Exhaustion overcomes the twinges.
 You sleep like the dead.

I have it easy.

Brilliant Jon. I'm glad we're stuck with you. I always wondered what arthritis must feel like, after watching my Mum suffer from it from an early age. I should have wondered less, as now I know, unfortunately.
