PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

   Ray Wilkins, my husband, father of my children,
Leah and David. Grandfather of Danielle Wilkins.
Had been having trouble walking. Upon visiting the
doctor he found out he needed a full hip replacement.
Making plans to do so, he had surgery, and everything
went perfectly.

   In the days that followed, he had trouble with
prostate, and had surgery. And everything went fine.
He started having anxiety attacks. Took him to hospital.
His anxiety attacks were terrible. I was scared of
him.

   He believes he has a deadly disease, and is dying.
There is hardly anything wrong with him. He has lost
forty + pounds.

   As I write this, he is still in Deaconess hosp.
in Cincinnati. He has taken three electric shock
treaments with no results so far. God only knows
where this will lead to. Monday, he will take
number four. Doctor says maybe nine or ten. Who
knows. He is due for another treatment next week,
then prehaps he will be coming home. I hope so.
I am beside myself. God be kind.
