I Wanna Strangle Someone, Peacefully
A hard core narcotic cocktail
Some Xanax thrown in for good measure
(note, plural)
And…
Voila!
You get to say stupid shit
Came through on the other side
However
My outpatient surgery landed me an admission
Nobody seemed to mind my often incoherent ramblings
Nor my nonsensical blissful semi-lucidity
The destruction way more than the surgeon anticipated
(even after the MRI and multitudes of x-rays)
The pain is more than I counted on
But I got myself
One hell of a new foot
Non-ambulatory for six to eight weeks
I’m gonna have all sorts of folks wiping my ass for me
Small price to pay for making it through
I learned a long time ago that having modesty in a hospital is for the birds
All things considered, I’m very hopeful
Enthusiastic that the pain that I’ve been carrying in that foot for four years
Will be gone soon
And I can get back to living a semi-normal life
For a short while
Cuz, lucky me
I get to do this all over again in twelve months
Then I’ll have two
Brand spanking new feet
Two new feet
At the end of two years
Look out, fuck me shoes
Here I come
Some Xanax thrown in for good measure
(note, plural)
And…
Voila!
You get to say stupid shit
Came through on the other side
However
My outpatient surgery landed me an admission
Nobody seemed to mind my often incoherent ramblings
Nor my nonsensical blissful semi-lucidity
The destruction way more than the surgeon anticipated
(even after the MRI and multitudes of x-rays)
The pain is more than I counted on
But I got myself
One hell of a new foot
Non-ambulatory for six to eight weeks
I’m gonna have all sorts of folks wiping my ass for me
Small price to pay for making it through
I learned a long time ago that having modesty in a hospital is for the birds
All things considered, I’m very hopeful
Enthusiastic that the pain that I’ve been carrying in that foot for four years
Will be gone soon
And I can get back to living a semi-normal life
For a short while

Brand spanking new feet
Two new feet
At the end of two years
Look out, fuck me shoes
Here I come

Glad you have come out of this, may your foot heal without complications.
To your line:
"I learned a long time ago that having modesty in a hospital is for the birds" -
I say you will probably know birds aren't the most modest animals where they do their business!

I think medical staff are probably accustomed to hearing strange stuff from patients who are drugged for surgery and on painkillers. Glad to hear that it went well. Wishing you a speedy recovery. 🌹

Let them pamper the hell outta you, hang on tight to humor & choreograph dance routines in your head while you heal. That way in a couple years, you can blow their minds in those shoes with your moves! Happy to see you roaming the halls again!

Those painkiller cocktails are wild. Halfway through the feet upgrade! World better watch out when you're ready to tackle it again!

This title just caught my eye, then the first two lines are preaching to the choir. Girl... that last stanza had me cracking up! I wish you a swift recovery.
