Everything Turns Out All Right in the End
Walking into the cancer center I saw that ☝️ a sign made for ___Me ________________Bolt⚡ I am a Warrior. I've written two haikus about my day. May 16, 2025. My dear friends on Vocal have expressed concerns about me. I appreciate it! But I am fine. About eleven hours after experiencing needles as long as my forearm, I only have minor discomfort. I feel emotionally hollow. Drained. But my spirit isn't disturbed. And in some ways, today's exhausting procedure may have been a blessing in disguise. I'll know more tomorrow and share what I know. Have Faith. If it's not alright now, it will be, with patience. A soft soul with a solid heart can overcome anything.
