How long?

Recovery from an operation or illness is not always plain sailing.

There are ups and downs There are lows and highs On this rollercoaster ride

One day things go well Then thwarted again The future is so unknown

Take one step forward But then two steps back No change better than relapse

Stability’s good Keep the status quo We don’t want to rock the boat

But oh, for how long? This sad state of flux? How long such uncertainty?
