the operating theatre 137

Waiting for the long hours
Never knew what was in the operating theatre
The surgeon promised about 5 hours of surgery
He took it passed the promised hour

The patient only wheeled out at around 8.45pm
Everybody was quite happy when it was over the waiting
Now to hear the result of the post surgery by the doctor
The family members trooped in with tired faces.........

Over-night stayed for the patient
Early morning the preparation for the open heart surgery
Finally he summoned his courage to go for it
After years of hiding it away only to get it worst

The worrying faces amongst relatives and families
When the hours dragged on over the target hours
Everybody was thinking yet couldn't say out loud
It was the complications the surgeon didn't detected

So the hours dragged on until at night
The patient finally came out from the operating theatre
The relief on all the faces in the waiting room
Later the surgeon said it was fairly stable

Day one gone so it was quite successful
Every member of his family gone home to rest
There was no call from the SDMC hospital
The day gone on well into the night

The next morning again in the waiting room
The long hours dragged on again to find the result
Now visitors allowed to enter 2 at a time.............
The patient was sedated but could understand

He moved his toes and fingers
Opening his eyes to see his family members
The sign was good the operation was a success
At least now the worrying part was pushed behind

Now it is the time to see his progress
For the days he should be well on his fight
All I can say he finally battles himself
He wants to see his grandchildren growing up
