Day 18- Poetry Challenge-I Remember

I remember my heart surgery

I remember my visits to the doctors

I remember getting tired and saying, "Daddy, pick me up!"

I remember having X-Rays and how nasty the barium solution was

I remember going to the hospital 

I remember wearing the hospital gown

I remember being wheeled on a gurney 

I remember seeing the ice bath

I remember looking up at the lights

I remember counting down

I remember the smell of the oxygen mask

I remember being asked to wake up

I remember wanting to sit in a chair

I remember my daddy asking me, "Do you still love me?"

I remember saying, "Yes, Daddy!"

I remember lots of shots and the other children in the Ward

I remember finally going home and showing off my stitches

I remember all the get well cards from my friends at school.
