CHF end stage.
It can absolutely feel like living inside of a cage.
Don't do this
don't do that.
Watch your sodium intake, watch your intake of fat.
Pill after pill
just to keep our hearts more still.
On the scale first thing every morning.
Overnight a weight gain of 5 lbs.?
That's a fluid retention warning.
Our hearts now beat so mild and meekly.
Life for us is not about months but, more geared towards weekly.
I could easily go off on some, "why did this happen to me" impassioned rant.
Instead I'll not get too excited because I'm not on any list for a much needed heart transplant.
My heart has already withstood
220 beats per minute for hours at a time.
Cardiologists staring at me like a puzzle, like a poem without a rhyme.
Congestive heart failure  - Supraventricular tachycardia.
I went through it all...I went through hours of literal ICU manic hysteria.
Enjoy us CHF sufferers while we are still here.
Because tomorrow with us, can quickly turn into yesteryear.
Have no regrets.
Don't miss us while viewing the sunset.
A sunset that we can see from the heavens above.
A sunset soaked and saturated with our love.
If we happen to fade away in our sleep......
Our memories will be yours, forever to keep.

'Yours and everyone's concrete poet'
