I’m patiently waiting
In my Neurosurgeon’s rooms
The visit should’ve been a scheduled check-up
But here I am, explaining yesterday’s jolt
I had an episode whilst driving
I nearly caused an accident
I blacked out for a second
I lost power in my stroke affected arm and leg
I started to panic
I had to stop and rest
Fortunately I experienced
An immediate awakening
My senses came back
My quickened heart-rate slowed down
My specialist has banned me from driving
I’m to undergo scans next week
I’m confused and upset
I’m blessed and unhurt
There’ll be a week of having tests
Then I’ll be waiting for the results
Hopefully the outcome will be positive
And the awakening lightening bolt, was heaven sent
Ivor Steven (c) August 2019
