Ironically or coincidently, after re-posting several poems from my hospitalisation time three years ago … I suddenly found out that I am to be back in hospital for a short stay during the week … but I am only going up to level four, not that far from the ground floor, and within a short walk to the front door …

A Sudden Change of Plans

Early on Friday

I received a phone call

From the Geelong hospital

Informing me that my elective surgery

Was unexpectedly moved to be on next week

Then suddenly

Early this morning

Under the precautionary health guidelines

I was sent to be tested for the ‘Covid’ virus

And now I am in home isolation

For the next three days

Prior to my left elbow surgery

Early Wednesday morning

If everything goes according to plan

And all being well

I should be home

Early Wednesday evening
