If you could turn away from me

and face the wall... Cold

jelly and uncomfortable pressure...

Now, on your back, knees bend - breathe in -

hold. And again, again, etc.



Looks good. Very good. Size, normal -

chambers, ventricles, no calcification of the valves...

Good heart. Just checking to see

if you are up for the challenge of the damage 

of the cure. And you are. Dress please!



Thank you.

Felt I was there with you feeling the jelly and the pressure!
One more hurdle/procedure passed, and positively.
'if you are up for the challenge of the damage of the cure' very cleverly worded, Bee. Rhiannon

As with much of your writing Bee so simply worded but telling us so much.

A good heart in deed.

poor old heart, a few buckles and stents and it'll be good as new.

Hi Bee

this is prep for the chemo I presume. I can't imagine that the Vitamin c therapy would have any affect on your heart, but then again, I don't know, as it is using something out of its normal context, and creating peroxide.

I too appreciated your choice of words.

It has the quick efficiency of the doctor in the words and underneath it all the longing of the heart.

...to draw on such an empiric process and inevitable distance from self to draw it back to physical personal experience and share. xx

Like everyone else Bee, I was struck with the line "Just checking if you are up for the challenge of the damage of the cure." So very well put.

I agree with all the others about that particular line.  It is so arresting.  You have such talent that you are able to turn bald statements into poetry but with such an economy of words.  Loved this but wished it was not from personal experience.

Still thinking of you,

Moya xx.
