Loss & Gain

That was a normal but a day that changed my life forever

I went in to stop migraines and came out with such loss

Bleeding on brain and family wondering if I’ll make it

Doctors stop bleeding but not out of woods yet

Then comes a coma and fever

I wake up but only remember going in

Doctors say ill never use my right leg again

All are surprised because my legs are strong

I loss so much that day and had a stroke

I can’t walk, relearn to talk, and coordination off

But I will never give up

Now author and blogger

Done from my phone

So to those naysayers

I say watch me

Days are long and everything is hard

There are things I miss

Somedays I’m pissed

Thinking of everything I missed

But I’m still blessed

I get to see my family and for that I’m grateful
