Thanksgiving Struggle

home from gastric sleeve surgery two days
thankful that Tuesday night's pain had ended
and that prayer, patience and tenderness pays
son, daughters and grandchildren descended

trampoline chaos
exciting our Corgi-pom
Thanksgiving guests


two ounces clear liquid every three hours
savoring my daughters' whipping up feast
dog nudging for a scrap that he devours
turkey, ham and fixin’s… a taste at least?

small scoop of Jell-O
with endless sips of water
Thanksgiving dinner


Black Friday wife and daughters head to mall
son-in-law watching all eight of the kids
I tend the kitchen to keep the mess small
sneak a cube of cheese; diet on the skids

banana-stomach
needing three-week healing
Thanksgiving pig-head
