Quiet

I am in rehab
Which means
Rejab as the
Nurses draw blood
Or check glucose or
Some such jabbing
All day and all night usually
At 11 pm and again at 5 am
Just to keep things lively.
But worst is the lack
Of quiet or even a bit
Of privacy to shield
The soul from the
Press of loud visitors
On the hallways
And the nighttime
Mournful calls of
Frightened patients
For help that does
Not come for a
Long time just to
Say hush then leave.
Lack of quiet is the
Worst of a rehab
Facility though the
Staff is friendly and
Helpful and the rehab
Folks are excellent.
I am there morning
And afternoons.
I am in one of the
Best rehabs and am
Getting better each
Day toward my goal
Of walking again on
A prosthetic leg.
And, my friends and
Family are a great
Support on FB plus
My sons visit often
With supplies to
Supplement
My rations.
God bless
You all.
