I get a text when I go to the doctor
which is all the time these days
Practically a different doctor each day
for a new ailment it seems for way too many weeks
It reads
How did it go?—Day 1
How are you?—Day 2
Don’t worry….Day 3
Should I come home?—Day 4
I will cook tonight, just rest–Day 5
A funny picture to make me smile—Day 6
Are you dy’in yet with an emoji —-Day 7
through my tears of Worry and Anxiety
every day I worry
I get a text
and when Anxiety is sticking me with a hot poker
I get a call
I am usually crying
He talks me through it
tells me to Breathe
“make your belly rise”
“hey is your belly rising”?
“stop holding your breath”….
He watched a documentary
about Anxiety
doesn’t understand it
but knows it’s Real
Sometimes he will go to the doctor
because he knows I will Imagine
all kinds of horrible things
He read books about The Menopause
so was prepared
who does that?
….My husband
God Love him….
