Mum Looking Glum

I took my mum to hospital
About her recent op on her hip,
The Dr gave her a medical
And said she was fighting-fit.
My older brother was there –
Concerned and lending a care.
I looked after her partner
Who sadly has dementia. 

My mother endures a bad back,
She had an op to get her on track,
But she still suffers some pain
Regrettably now and again.
She is strong and soldiers on
Regardless of not having fun.

    1. Thank you Yvonne, for your kind concern. She had a tail bone in her spine, and had to have it cut out. But she still suffers from time to time. Enjoy your weekend too. Love love, Andrew. Bye.

  2. Your poor mom, Andrew! It sounds like she has a lot on her plate. Chronic pain is hard to deal with when it goes on and on!
