'Twas the Night Before Hyster....

THE NIGHT BEFORE SURGERY

‘Twas the night before surgery approaching the castle
The nurse took my pre-op vitals without too much hassle
My TED stockings were snug on my two legs with care
In hopes that no blood clots could ever form there

I dreamed of how great it would be to be in my own bed
While visions of catheters kicked ‘round my head
The doc in his scrubs and I in my backless frock
Had just settled down after a heated incision talk

When all of sudden I guess I was out
I woke up as someone was wheeling me about
My eyes sprang open and twitched side to side
I clutched for my crown with such Princess Pride!

When what, through my groggy and foggy brain see
But a nice PCA with a pain button, just for me!
And my lively young Doctor, so smart and so cute
He asked right away if I’d yet to ‘toot’!

More staples than legal, my tummy had caught
My Doctor then bellowed “Now Listen, my tot!”
“No lifting, no bending, no dancing, no fixin’
No comet for cleaning, no boudoir mixin’

From now ‘til our 6 week visit, I say,
Just pamper the princess, now have a good day!”
