"A deeply reflective piece to which anyone can relate I'm sure....but this one is about me. I am booked in for surgery next Wednesday (so I will be out of action for a few days afterwards), and though it may seem simple and like nothing to some, I have my own fears about it. There has been so much in the news of late about hospitals and surgery gone wrong etc. and that is something I don't particularly need to hear right now. Though others have told me it will be fine I have tried telling myself the same thing, but yesterday it became aware to us that subconsciously I was more stressed about the surgery that I really knew. I began to have signs of what my mother and husband thought was the onset of a heart attack, so I went straight to my doctors where I had an ECG. But that showed up clear and that nothing was wrong with my heart....turns out it is very likely stress about the whole thing, and though I still have these symptoms, as painful as they are, at least I know what they are. So this poem is in reflection of the inner fears we can all have, even if we are unaware of them as well. Though we try to stay focused and positive how difficult it really is to remain that way. But through the broken glass there is hope for tomorrow....we just have to see it, and grasp it, and know that everything WILL be alright."
