Day Surgery Memoires
Hair nets and hand-me-downs,
Striped garb with strings
Wise men in scrubbing gowns,
Angels with wings
Pin ****** and pressure cuff,
Disarming chat
Face mask and gassy stuff,
Drugs by the vat
Dull aches like bicycles
Peddling up lanes,
Cold streaks like icicles
Rush through the veins,
Laid back and lazily
Watching the dance,
Head floating hazily
Into a trance
Woozily waking up,
Wobbly and drunk
Water to sip and sup,
Memories sunk
Balance returning when
Loved ones are phoned,
Recovery over, then
Time to go home
A big thanks to staff at the Hobart Day Surgery for making the experience of my first general anaesthetic as comfortable as possible.
