Having begun physical therapy (following
My three year struggle to survive
Many months of chemo therapy that
Proved so harsh as to see me admitted to
The hospital on an emergency basis for
Blood transfusions, several times, as well as
Having survived three life-saving
Heart and lung surgeries, all within
One year’s time), hopefully
We’ll see my stamina increase so that
Rather than being a surviver
I can, once again, feel like a thriver
As has been true every time
Life has thrown a curve ball that—
Has hit me in the head at
A speed so jarring as to have
Temporarily knocked out
My lights, awaking me to
My need to keep my eye trained on
My heartfelt goal, which
Currently, sees me winning over
This series of cancerous setbacks so as
To go forth toward reclaiming
My good health—Once and for all
Today is my quarterly Chest CT scan
So with no time to waste
Let’s wish me well
🙋🏻♀️Annie
