Excruciating pain, death is a choice;
The drugs fail to ease, agony, my voice.
My knee bloat and bulge, the earth quake and spilt;
Synovium bleeds, strangulate and hit.
Sound my wailing siren to paradise;
Repentance and forgiveness of my vice.
Resentment and regrets complicate life;
Mobility down, restlessness run rife.
Bitter truth of life, body’s wear and tear;
Sad tears dribble down knee, fresh ire aware.
Living without style, feel enough and rich;
Stays calm and cool, mind adjust to new niche.
Life is bittersweet, the divide we share;
The affair we dream, we compare the flare.
Note:
We consulted an orthopedic surgeon at Mount Alvernia MC yesterday, recommended by his colleague we saw earlier. We had a frank and long discussion about my medical condition. The complication was rare. In his long practice of two decades in his speciality, I was the first patient he encountered with such a problem. The explanation removes some of my grudges and misunderstanding.
In the interval, I read several books, listen to many You tube over wide topic. I, thereby, summarize all I have read into the above sonnet.
The pictures of books were copied pasted from the web. I have read them with appreciation to the authors Their books give me a different perspective to life. I have added two food pictures: Nasi Lemak (coconut milk added to rice, with flower petals), a Malaysian cuisine, simple and excellent; and a well balanced Western breakfast. The oats were steel cut and boiled, a small bananas for the flavour.; plain yogurt was added to the fruits; black coffee, without sugar nor milk.
