10 Hospital Haiku

First operation / Sadly did not do the trick / So I'm cut once more
A pain in my side / What thought will I dream tonight? / Simple, dark or distant?
These hours grow late / I am afraid I can't sleep / Nor wonder of peace
While I eat ice cubes / Thoughts of Notorious foods / Ever draws near to me
Getting better means / Walking enough times around / the nurse's station
I've gotten the best / Kayla and Rose are nurses / Most lucky to have
Slight fever does break / Worry seems overdone now / based on so little
Come night there is change / Called Michelle and Adam / Nurses change daily
A friendly nurse Leah / Removed what was holding me / To this hospital
An IV to go / I am out of here for good / Hope that is the case.
