Surgery Haiku

30 March 09

tomorrow clouds the day
surgeon and toes colliding
temporary block of sun

dependent upon
the fine skills of the surgeon
faith in his fingers

1 April 09 2:00am after surgery, in hospital ...

dead feet ghost running
reliving Vets1 victories
O'er taking Jim White

Note ...
surgery went well ... many thanks to surgeon and hospital staff including nurses Twinkle (her real name) and Sheeba ... all were wonderful

4 April 09

Update ...

latest breaking news
message shot from straight bones
toe the line with care

no bell-ringing day
only a sleepy dog gives a sigh
toe the line with care

Richard Scutter

Footnote ...
Vets = ACT Veterans Athletics Club ... still toeing that line with care
