Laid Up

G-d has the last laugh.

Here I am
about to marry
and thinking of the dancing
going for last fittings
purchasing accessories
shoes...

and all it takes
is one little slip
and I'm laid up
iced up
hopping about on one leg.

I'll be glad if I'm able to
walk down the aisle.
and i sure hope i'll be able to dance some.

and now it's up to mom
to finish the shopping
and packing

and my poor chosson is left
wondering what he can do
to make me more comfortable
but realizing that he can't.

guess we'll make the best of it
and laugh about it
in our old age.

till next time,
I remain

Dreamer.

Oh wow. How much longer do you have? I know of other girls who injured themselves right before the wedding, and they summoned up some inner strength and adrenaline and managed to have a good time! I hope you manage to do the same! Hatzlacha rabba and refuah shleimah!

Scraps said...

Oh my goodness, refuah shelaimah b'karov!!! That must be so difficult and frustrating for you. I hope that a lot of R&R helps and you'll be feeling a lot better by the wedding!

I just realized that with all this talk about being able to dance at the wedding, we've forgotten about right now. How are you feeling right now?

the dreamer said...

You sounded better on the phone, but I know you're kind of down. Would company help? (not like I'm available, but I could be... or at least you can come online one of these days; you know my office hours ;-) )

How are you feeling today?--I hope a little better.

AT PEACE said...

I hope you are feeling better! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Can't wait to dance with you!

Bas~Melech said...

At peace -- You will be there?! Good grief, I'll spend the whole night wondering... :-P

This is crazy. Dreamer, you ought to just stuff all the bloggers on one table and let fate do the work... I'd kill you, but you're moving away so you're safe until I get used to being exposed...

Bas~Melech said...

My goodness.

After all this moaning, I got extra sleep the night before and brought a little shtick, preparing to entertain the poor, invalid kallah...

To all you concerned readers:
Dreamer danced up a storm at her wedding. And that's the last time she gets any sympathy from me. :-P

So glad to hear! Mazel tov again!! I wish I could have been there but I was totally thinking of you though last night...
